Hershey's Chewy Brownie Pie
Hershey’s Chewy Brownie Pie is like a chewy, slightly cakey blondie with bits of Oreo and smothered in a sweetened condensed milk glaze with melty chocolate chips.
After that description, you might agree with me that the name of this doesn’t really prepare you for what you’re about to eat. Hershey’s I associate with chocolate. Chewy, sure. Brownies are usually, well, brown. And pie? Pies usually have a crust. This does not have a crust and I don’t know what makes it a brownie pie other than it being round? Whatever category this best fits in, what we do know is that it’s a dessert, and it’s delicious. It’s also easy to make, unless you like to make things complicated like me, then you can make your own homemade sweetened condensed milk. Which is not hard, but does add in one more step. Whatever you call and however you make it, I love this Hershey’s Brownie Pie Thing.
The base is made with a Hershey’s Cookies ‘N’ Cream bar. This is a specialty product I’ve never seen in Europe. If you’ve never had one, it’s just a white chocolate Hershey chocolate bar with bits of Oreo cookie in it. They remind of me my childhood. I probably only had one a handful of times, but I have a couple very fond memories of my mom letting my brother and me have one. For my European friends, you could try substituting white chocolate with some Oreo cookies crushed into small chunks, or even using just white chocolate.
The original recipe uses a can of sweetened condensed milk, but I made my own for the first time this week, and I like it so much better! Not to mention no BPA from the can, and you can use organic milk and sugar. Win win. Plus you can nonchalantly throw out that the sweetened condensed milk is made from scratch when people ask you what it is or what's in it. Win win win.
I tweaked a couple other small details in the recipe to make it a little less rich, but it's pretty delicious.

Recipe adapted from Fahrenheit 350
Hershey's Chewy Brownie Pie
Serves 8-12
Ingredients
For the brownie:
6.5 oz / 184g Hershey's Cookies 'N' Cream Candy Bar (that’s 1 giant bar)
1/2 cup / 100g sugar
1/2 cup / 113g salted butter
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp / 5g vanilla
1 cup / 120g all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
For the topping:
7 oz / 199g sweetened condensed milk, store bought or click here for the homemade recipe
1/2 cup / 88g mini chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F / 177°C. Grease a 9in / 23cm spring-form pan.
Make the brownie:
In a small saucepan, combine Cookies 'N' Cream bar, sugar, and butter over low heat just until melted, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and whisk in eggs and vanilla.
Stir in flour and baking powder just until combined.
Pour into prepared pan and bake for 15-18 minutes or until edges are lightly golden brown and toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Add the topping:
Immediately pour sweetened condensed milk over brownie, spreading to the edges. Sprinkle on the chocolate chips. Allow to cool before removing outer ring of spring-form pan and cutting.
Jenny's Notes:
Want it denser and richer? Omit the baking powder from the brownie and layer more mini chocolate chips on top. Want it less rich? Simply reduce the sugar in the brownie! Keep in mind that reducing sugar may result in a less chewy and more cakey brownie.
If you don’t have a springform pan, you could use a cake pan in its stead.
