Alpine Bar Brownies

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 30-second intervals until fully melted.

3. In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Pour the melted butter over the sugars and mix well.

4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

5. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

6. Fold in the chopped almonds and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

8. In a small saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk and a handful of chocolate chips over low heat. Stir continuously until the chocolate chips have melted and the mixture is smooth.

9. Drizzle the chocolate mixture over the brownie batter in the pan, using a knife to swirl it into the batter.

10. Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

11. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares and serving.
