For an even richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
Toast the walnuts or pecans lightly before chopping to enhance their flavor.
Line the baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies.
If you don't have sweetened condensed milk, you can substitute with a homemade version or a mixture of heavy cream and sugar.
Don't overbake the brownies! A slightly gooey center is what makes them so delicious.
