Triple Chocolate Brownies are a chocolate lover’s dream. Loaded with three different types of chocolate, these brownies are dense, moist, and fudgy. Perfect for any occasion during any time of the year!
As my blog continues, I’m becoming more and more of a chocolate lover. Maybe it’s an age thing (hello menopause!), because in the old days, I always went for something fruity or creamy, and ice cream was basically IT. Usually one bite of something does it, which is why those Dove Chocolate bites come in super handy. I decided it was time for a basic brownie recipe. But basic this is NOT, because I loaded it with chocolate.
Ingredients needed for Triple Chocolate Brownies:
- Butter – Use melted unsalted butter for this recipe.
- Sugar – You’ll need a combo of granulated sugar and brown sugar.
- Vanilla – I love the Watkin’s Vanilla brand.
- Eggs – Four eggs!
- Salt – I love using kosher salt in all of my recipes.
- Flour – A small amount of flour helps create a fudgy consistency.
- Chocolate! – Three different types of chocolate, including unsweetened baking bar, baking cocoa, and dark chocolate chips.
What is the difference between chewy and fudgy brownies?
Chewier brownies use more flour in the recipe than fudgy ones, resulting in a chewy bite rather than a dense texture. These brownies are definitely more on the fudgy side, using only 1/2 cup of flour.
How to make Triple Chocolate Brownies:
- Prep. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare an 8×8 pan with parchment paper.
- Combine wet ingredients. In a large bowl, melt the butter, and stir in sugars. Then add vanilla and eggs.
- Melt unsweetened chocolate bar. Melt the chocolate in a small bowl at 50% power until the chocolate is creamy. Check often and avoid burning. Add the melted chocolate to the wet ingredients, and mix well.
- Add dry ingredients. To the mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix well.
- Add chocolate chips. Then add the chocolate chips to the bowl and combine.
- Pour the batter into prepared pan. Pour the batter into the pan that is prepared with parchment paper, smoothing to all sides of the pan. Add a few extra chocolate chips to the top of the brownie batter.
- Bake. Bake the brownies for approximately 30 – 32 minutes at 350 degrees. If you like a gooey brownie, bake for less time.
- Cool slightly. Remove brownies from pan, and let sit for about 10 minutes, and then remove the brownies to a cooling rack, using the parchment paper to carefully lift them out.
- Slice and EAT. Slice the brownies into 16 even pieces, and eat them warm!
One really great trick to baking brownies and bars, is to cover your pan in parchment paper so that they lift easily out of the pan. Make sure the parchment paper hangs over all sides so that you can grab a hold of the paper. Once you remove them, they are super easy to cut. The bigger bonus is that your pan is completely clean!

One more thing. If you don’t eat these brownies on the first day, I recommend warming them up in the microwave, and topping with vanilla ice cream. Brownies tend to get dry quickly, due to the cocoa powder in them. But they become alive again after a quick “nuke”! See below!
