• Easy to Make: With simple steps and basic ingredients, these brownies come together quickly and effortlessly.
Ingredients:
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 4 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan
• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate and Butter
• In a heatproof bowl, melt the unsalted butter and chopped semi-sweet chocolate together over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring each time until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3: Combine the Sugars and Eggs
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until the mixture is thick and smooth.
Step 4: Mix in the Melted Chocolate
• Gradually pour the slightly cooled melted chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, folding gently to combine until smooth and glossy.
Step 5: Add the Dry Ingredients
• Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet ingredients. Fold the dry ingredients gently into the batter until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense brownies.
Step 6: Fold in the Chocolate Chips
• Fold in the semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
Step 7: Bake
• Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Step 8: Cool and Serve
• Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan, then cut them into squares and serve.
Tips:
• Use High-Quality Chocolate: For the best flavor, use high-quality chocolate for both the melted chocolate and chocolate chips.
• Room Temperature Eggs: Ensuring the eggs are at room temperature helps them blend more evenly into the batter, resulting in a better texture.
• Check for Doneness: The toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs—this ensures the brownies stay fudgy and not overbaked.
Storage Options:
• Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• Refrigerator: For longer storage, keep the brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Bring to room temperature before serving.
• Freezer: These brownies freeze well. Wrap individual squares in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
These Triple Chocolate Brownies are the ultimate indulgence, perfect for chocolate enthusiasts who appreciate a rich, fudgy dessert. The blend of melted chocolate, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips ensures each bite is packed with intense chocolate flavor and a luscious texture. Whether enjoyed on their own or paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, these brownies are bound to become a household favorite!
