Triple Chocolate Brownies Ingredients

Substitutions And Additions

CHOCOLATE: You can substitute different kinds of chocolate in this recipe.

Use regular semisweet chocolate chips for the milk chocolate chips in the frosting and dark or white chocolate chips for the chocolate chip chunks in the brownies.

COCOA POWDER: The recipe calls for unsweetened cocoa powder.

For a richer, darker chocolate flavor, you could substitute the same amount with Dutch-processed cocoa powder.

Just note that the result might be less sweet than the original.

VANILLA EXTRACT: Feel free to play around with the extract. Almond or coffee extract could give a lovely twist to the traditional chocolate brownie flavor.

Just remember that the flavors of these extracts can be strong, so you might want to start by using half the quantity and adjust to taste.

WALNUTS: While this recipe doesn’t call for any additions, if you’re a fan of nuts in your brownies, consider adding a cup of chopped walnuts for some extra crunch.

If you’re not into walnuts, other nuts like pecans or almonds would work well too.

You could also stir in some shredded coconut or dried cherries for a different kind of twist.

How To Make This Triple Chocolate Brownies Recipe

For The Brownies

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.

Be sure to leave an overlap or “sling” of parchment paper. 

STEP TWO: Whisk together one cup of flour and three-quarters of a cup of unsweetened cocoa powder in a small mixing bowl. Set it aside.

STEP THREE: Using a 2 to 3-quart saucepan over low heat, add the butter and chopped baking chocolate.

Stir constantly until the butter and chocolate are completely melted.

Transfer to a large mixing bowl, and allow it to cool slightly. It won’t be hot, just slightly warm.

STEP FOUR: Whisk in the granulated sugar, large eggs, and vanilla extract.

STEP FIVE: Toss one cup of the chocolate chip chunks in one tablespoon of flour, and set it aside.

STEP SIX: Stir in the cocoa and flour mixture. Stir just until well incorporated.

STEP SEVEN: Stir in the coated chocolate chip chunks.

STEP EIGHT: Spoon the brownie batter into the prepared pan.

STEP NINE: Evenly sprinkle the remaining uncoated chocolate chip chunks over the brownie batter. 

STEP TEN: Using a small piece of wax paper, slightly press the chocolate chunks into the top of the brownie batter. 

STEP ELEVEN: Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes away with slight brownie crumbs.

STEP TWELVE: Allow the brownies to completely cool before frosting.

For The Chocolate Frosting

STEP ONE: Using a medium-sized heat-safe mixing bowl, add the chocolate chips and the vegetable oil.

Microwave for 45 seconds, stir, and heat in 15-second intervals until the chocolate mixture is smooth.

STEP TWO: Evenly spread the melted chocolate over the brownies. 

STEP THREE: Chill the brownies in the refrigerator until the frosting is set. Slice into twelve 2½-inch x 3-inch slices.

How To Serve
