Graham Cracker Brownies

Bet you never thought of using graham crackers to make "brownies"! These unique bars are super tasty and rich...they have a brownie texture, yet a different (and good!) twist on the flavor. And no eggs are needed to make the recipe (eggs are quite expensive here in the US as of time of this entry). 10/10!

Recipe below contains my modifications.

Ingredients:

1 box (14.4 oz.) graham crackers

1/2 T. baking powder

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

1 can (14 oz.) condensed milk

1/2 c. golden syrup (note for those in the US: I found it at World Market)

1 1/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips

 

Directions:

 

1. Heat oven to 375°F. Generously spray the bottom and sides of an 11" x 7" baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

 

2. In the bowl of a food processor, process graham crackers to fine crumb (likely will have to do this in batches, as I did). Place processed crumbs in a large mixing bowl.

 

3. Stir in the baking powder and kosher salt, followed by the condensed milk and golden syrup.

 

4. Stir in the chocolate chips (batter will be very stiff and sticky!), then transfer batter to prepared baking dish. Press the batter into as even of a layer as possible.

 

5. Transfer to oven and bake for 40-50 min, until brownies have turned a deep golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. (You can see by the picture that I used a fork and had to check a few times, as the original recipe's time is nowhere near what is needed.)

 

 

6. Remove from oven and let cool completely on cooling rack (this will take at least an hour). When ready to serve, loosen edges with a butter knife, then transfer to a cutting board to slice into bars. Enjoy!
