Isn't Eagle Brand a sweetened condensed milk?

I never tried it with sweetened condensed, I don't think it would have enough moisture to wet the dry ingredients fully. This stuff already spreads like cold peanut butter in the pan due to the extra ingredients and reduced oil, I think it might be impossible to spread out with sweetened condensed.

Maybe a mix of sweetened condensed and espresso would work, but I'd have to think about what the proportions should be.

You are right, I misread your recipe. I really do want to try these especially with the espresso.

I was going to comment that these doctored brownies seem far more tasty than the ones my roomates used to make, but theirs always left you wanting more...

The confusion between sweetened condensed and evaporated milk happens a lot actually. I've even done it a few times by accident when reciting the recipe.

Regarding the espresso, it comes out as a subtle flavor in the brownie. If you want it to be more pronounced, you can add a tablespoon or two of instant coffee to the mix.
