Milk Chocolate Brownies - Cook Republic 

Milk chocolate is synonymous with childhood. Smeared cheeks, sticky fingers, sweet breath and foil wrappers stowed away in books as treasures. It is only after we grow up that we banish the treat of our childhood and become fancy pants with dainty little squares of the darkest chocolate we can find.

I love my dark chocolate as much as the average person and no more. But sometimes, very ocassionally I will crave a Cadbury milk chocolate bar. Because it takes me back to my childhood when we used to wake with the smell of chocolate enveloping us. Every single morning. Even in the weekends. You see we lived next to the Cadbury chocolate factory and the smell, oh the smell is something I miss even to this day! Yesterday I was nostalgic. It was baking day. And these brownies were begging to be baked with a touch of my nostalgia — milk chocolate. They are simple and straightforward. They are fudgy and oozing molten chocolate. They are perfect for washing down with a glass of creamy milk. Milk mustaches and chocolate smeared cheeks. Yes, that is what we all need once in a while.
