Follow the steps with care and you get dense, rich brownies. Melt the butter and chips, mix eggs and sugars, then add the chocolate mix. Stir in the dry parts until they just join the batter. Fold in extra chips and mix-ins and bake. For other simple bakes, see this cookie idea: chewy maple cookies.

Ingredients :

1/2 cup (110g) unsalted butter
1 cup (180g) semi sweet chocolate chips
4 large eggs (200g), room temperature
1 cup (210g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (120g) light brown sugar
2/3 cup (93g) all purpose flour
1/2 cup (42g) cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (180g) chocolate chips of choice + other desired mix-ins

Directions :

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 9×9 inch pan with parchment paper. Spray the paper with cooking spray to ensure the brownies are easy to remove from the pan after baking and cooling.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt chopped unsalted butter and chocolate chips together over medium heat. Stir constantly to ensure the chocolate does not burn. After the two are fully combined and melted, set aside to cool slightly as you prepare your other ingredients.
In a large bowl, whisk room temperature eggs, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until smooth. Do not overmix.
Pour melted butter and chocolate mixture into the bowl and whisk until combined throughout. Again, only mix until just combined.
Add properly-measured all purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt to the batter and whisk only until you see the dry ingredients disappear. Mixing longer could result in dry brownies.
Fold chocolate chips and other desired mix-ins into the batter until distributed evenly throughout. Pour the batter into your prepared pan.
Bake the brownies for 30-40 minutes or until the top is shiny, beginning to crack, and the center does not jiggle. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with some batter.

how to serve Triple Chocolate Brownies

Let the pan cool well, then lift the paper and cut squares. Serve warm with a spoon of cold cream or a scoop of ice cream. You can also toast the squares lightly for a warm bite. A simple fruit side like sliced banana works well with the rich cake, similar to chocolate banana bread pairings.

how to store Triple Chocolate Brownies

Cover the cooled brownies with foil or plastic wrap. Keep them at room temp for up to 3 days. For longer life, freeze in a tight bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temp before you eat.

tips to make Triple Chocolate Brownies

Use room temp eggs so they mix well. Melt chocolate slowly and stir to stop burning. Do not overmix after you add flour. Add chips last and fold by hand. For a richer bake, try using a mix of dark and milk chips or add a few salted nuts. For a different bake idea, look at this cake tip: double frosted cake.

variation (if any)

Make them extra fudgy by cutting the bake time by 5 minutes.
Add 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts.
Stir in 1/4 cup espresso powder to boost the chocolate taste.
Swap some chips for chopped chocolate bars for big chunks.
