Brownies, chocolate, caramel, toffee – what more could you ask for? These Better Than Sex Brownies are everything you’ve ever dreamed of, plus more!
Chocolate is my go-to when it comes to desserts. Brownies are one of my favorites things in this world, especially these Better Than Sex Brownies.
Technically I love all desserts, cakes, cookies, bars, you name it and I’m all over it. But the rich indulgence of the flavors in this recipe are just over the top.
Starting with a homemade brownie, you poke and pour sweetened condensed milk all over the top and let it soak in.
Then top if off with chocolate sauce, caramel sauce and toffee bits. I mean if you can’t say over the top delish, I don’t know how to describe these.
If you’ve ever had Better Than Sex Cake, then you know what I’m talking about when it comes to the flavors.
They are made a little differently, but when it comes to brownies vs. the cake – its really a toss up for me.
If you are looking for that indulgent dessert, then you absolutely cannot go wrong with these Better Than Sex Brownies.

HOW TO MAKE BETTER THAN SEX BROWNIES, STEP BY STEP:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line a 9×13-inch baking dish (preferably metal) with parchment paper and set aside.
- Melt butter in a medium to large saucepan over medium heat till melted.
- Add the sugar and vanilla and stir with a whisk till combined.
- Then add the cocoa powder and continue whisking till combined.
- Remove from heat and add eggs, 1 at a time, stirring till combined after each one.
- Add the flour and stir with a spoon till just combined. Donโt over-mix or whisk.
- Pour into prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes till a toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and immediately poke holes with a chopstick or wooden skewers all over the top and pour half a can of condensed milk over the top. Using a butter knife or flat edge spatula, try to get as much of the condensed milk in the holes and not just sit on top. Set aside to cool.

CAN I USE A BOXED BROWNIE MIX?
The brownie recipe developed for this recipe is less gooey than a boxed mix. If you add sweetened condensed milk to a gooey brownie they may just fall apart.
If you decide to use a box brownie mix, I’d suggest not undercooking the brownies at all and maybe even overcooking a minute or two.
CAN I USE HOT FUDGE FOR THE CHOCOLATE SAUCE?
If you want these a little richer, yes. You will need to warm up the fudge a bit in the microwave before drizzling over the brownies.
WHAT CAN I DO WITH THE LEFTOVER SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK?
I know that we all hate having leftovers of something, especially if its canned and hard to store.
You can use it as a coffee creamer, in a homemade lemonade, as an ice cream topping, or eat it with a spoon!
If you use the whole can of sweetened condensed milk the brownies will be too sweet.
CAN I ADD ANYTHING TO THE BROWNIE BATTER?
If you want to make these Better Than Sex Brownies a little more indulgent the yes you absolutely can. Some ideas include:
- Chocolate Chips
- Caramel Bits
- Toffee Bits
- Drizzle of caramel swirled
- Chopped nuts
HOW TO STORE:
These can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator where they will keep for up to 4-5 days.
I do not recommend freezing these brownies as when they are thawed they will become to moist and will fall apart from the filling and topppings.
TIPS AND TRICKS:
- I don’t recommend using a boxed brownie mix but if you do you will want to overbake them slightly.
- You can add ingredients to the brownie batter, see above on some ideas.
- These are great to make or bring for any occasion.
- You can use the regular toffee bits of the chocolate toffee bits for these.
- Make sure that you let your brownies cool completely after you pour over the sweetened condensed milk.
- You can use up the leftover sweetened condensed milk for other things, see above on ideas.
- We do not recommend freezing this recipe.
