Whoever says milk chocolate doesn’t belong in brownies needs to try this recipe. It’s one I posted back in 2011 which was long<\/em> overdue for a new photo. So I re-made the brownies for picture-taking, and while I was at it made a few minor changes, one being to add a swirl of peanut butter. But the peanut butter is optional. The point is that milk chocolate in brownies is a good thing because that little burst of dairy flavor from the chips is a contrast to the dark chocolate and cocoa flavor.<\/p>\n

New and Improved Version<\/h2>\n

So this is my new and improved Cookie Madness version. I added a little oil, because a combination of oil and butter balances flavor and texture. I also increased the cocoa powder, which meant increasing the sugar as well. And then came the peanut butter because I’ve just been into it lately. And by lately I mean for the past 40 years. <\/p>\n

Milk Chocolate Brownies Pan Size<\/h2>\n

The brownie recipe fits a 9-inch square pan. I’ve never tested the recipe in an 8-inch pan, but that should work if you are okay with thicker brownies and can do some guess-work for the increased bake time. I have<\/em> tested these as a half batch using an 8 \u00bd by 4 \u00bd inch loaf pan. For a small batch of milk chocolate brownies, just halve the recipe and bake in the loaf pan for about 25 minutes.<\/p>\n

Here’s the new improved recipe with an optional peanut butter swirl. Thank you to the old Epicurious article where I found the original because up until then, I didn’t think milk chocolate belonged in brownies. And thank you to Guittard and Ghirardelli for making good tasting milk chocolate chips<\/p>\n

Milk Chocolate Brownies<\/h2>\n

This recipe is designed for a 9-inch square pan rather than the usual 8-inch pan. If you make it in an 8-inch pan the brownies will take more time and will be thicker.<\/p>\n
