Just follow these steps, and you’ll be sinking your teeth into chocolate perfection in no time. By following this recipe, you’re on your way to enjoying the best fudgy triple chocolate brownies.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan. This is the key to preventing those Triple Chocolate Brownies from sticking.
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Mix until well combined. Pro tip for Triple Chocolate Brownies perfection: make sure there are no lumps of cocoa powder!
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract. Your Triple Chocolate Brownies batter should be smooth and glossy at this point.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix! Overmixing leads to tough brownies and no one wants that. This is where most people mess up their Triple Chocolate Brownies – but not you!
- Fold in the semi-sweet, dark, and white chocolate chips. Make sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter. Your Triple Chocolate Brownies is almost ready for the oven!
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. In my kitchen, these Triple Chocolate Brownies take exactly 30-35 minutes to bake.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. The edges should be set, but the center should still be slightly fudgy. Your Triple Chocolate Brownies should look/smell like chocolate heaven!
- Let the Triple Chocolate Brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Patience is key! Cooling allows the brownies to set properly, making them easier to cut and even fudgier.
- Cut, serve, and prepare for the chocolate overload! While your Triple Chocolate Brownies is working its magic, grab your camera – this is Instagram gold!

FAQs:
Got questions about these Triple Chocolate Brownies? I’ve got answers! I’ve been making these brownies for years, and I’ve encountered pretty much every baking challenge you can imagine. So, let’s tackle those questions and get you baking with confidence!
- Can I make this Triple Chocolate Brownies spicier?
Absolutely! Add a pinch of chili powder to the batter for a subtle kick, or use cayenne pepper for a bold heat. I’ve experimented with both, and the cayenne pepper version gets the biggest reactions!
- What if I don’t have dark chocolate chips for my Triple Chocolate Brownies?
No problem! Substitute them with milk chocolate chips or even more semi-sweet chocolate chips. The dark chocolate adds a depth of flavor, but the brownies will still be delicious without them.
- How do I know when my Triple Chocolate Brownies is perfectly done?
The toothpick test is your best friend here. Insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies. If it comes out with moist crumbs attached, they’re ready! You don’t want it to come out completely clean, or the brownies will be overbaked.
- Can I make these Triple Chocolate Brownies gluten-free?
Yes! Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. I recommend using a blend that contains xanthan gum for the best texture. Make sure you check out your local bakery to find the best option for an easy triple chocolate brownie. With the right gluten-free flour, you can bake an easy triple chocolate brownie.
- Can I add nuts to these Triple Chocolate Brownies?
Of course! Walnuts, pecans, or even chopped almonds would be a delicious addition. Fold them into the batter along with the chocolate chips. If you love nuts, this simple addition can turn into a triple chocolate brownies dream come true!
- How do I store these Triple Chocolate Brownies?
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Or, you can freeze them for up to 2 months. Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer bag.
- Can I make these Triple Chocolate Brownies in a different size pan?
Yes, but you’ll need to adjust the baking time. If you use a smaller pan, the brownies will be thicker and will require a longer baking time. Keep an eye on them and use the toothpick test to check for doneness.
These variations are all from community feedback.
