Instant Pot brownies with a Mexican twist are some of the fudgiest, moistest, deeply-chocolate-y brownies.. dark or milk chocolate. Additionally, chocolate chunks may be substituted in place of the chocolate chips. Aside from chocolate chips, some other great add-ins are nuts like walnuts, pecans, or almonds. The brownies were perfect: moist, rich, and decadent with the milk chocolate chips contrasting nicely with the dark chocolate taste of the brownie itself. Brownies are perfect when the crumbs on a plate will stick to the times of a fork when pressed.
