Have often hoped to recreate my gramma Doris' Red Velvet swirl brownies but could not find the right cake mix based blend. This one seems about perfect so we'll see. While she would've never stooped to using canned condensed milk the entire can seemed like it yielded the proper consistency. (hey, I was young and mostly licked the spoons! lol)

I used a whole can of sweetened condensed milk..8 ounces liquid, 16 ounces weight and the result was excellent. (never saw a 5 ounce can) Frosted with cream cheese icing, nothing left.

Great for a quick dessert when you have very little on hand. I made these as directed and added a mix of chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. I baked them for about 35 minutes at 350. They didn't blow me away, but were a nice cake-like brownie. Kinda on the dry side though - could possibly use some frosting.

I made this last night and found this interesting recipe very good. The only thing I will try next time is adding a bit of vanilla and perhaps a little cinnamon. Easy and delicious recipe. Thanks for posting
