Brownies!

I happened upon a recipe for no bake brownies that you can whip up as you are waiting for dinner to cook....or as a treat anytime! That recipe called for graham wafer crumbs, which you could use instead, but it is definitely more delicious with the chocolate crumbs. I have several go to recipes for brownies that are rich and chocolaty, just perfect for bake sale, coffee with your friends, or fancy dinner parties, I will share those recipes as well, but for today we will make this easy version, quick, chocolaty, delicious......enjoy!

No Bake Brownies

1-1/4 cups chocolate crumbs
1/4 cup Dutch cocoa
3/4 cup chopped nuts, I used walnuts because they are just bitter enough to foil the sweetness of the other ingredients
1 tin condensed milk
1/2 tablespoon coarse sea salt
4 squares unsweetened chocolate melted

I usually melt the chocolate in the microwave on the speed defrost cycle, which takes about 1-1/2 -2 minutes, do this first, meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the chocolate crumbs, cocoa, salt and walnuts, stir until well combined. With a strong spatula or wooden spoon, mix the condensed milk into the crumb mixture, by this time, the chocolate will be melted, add it to all of the ingredients in the bowl. Stir well.
At this point, you can spread the mixture it into an 8 inch (buttered and lined with parchment paper) baking pan, or you can roll the mixture with buttered hands into balls, or you can put a bit into cute baking cups, suit yourself as to how you want to present these luscious chocolaty treats.
Put in fridge for at least 1 hour to finish setting up, serve and enjoy!
