Okay, let’s dive into the beautiful chaos of making Triple Chocolate Brownies! I still remember the first time I attempted these. It was a rainy Saturday. The kids were bouncing off the walls, and I needed a serious chocolate fix. Well, what followed was a comedy of errors involving overflowing measuring cups, a smoke alarm, and a husband who swore he’d “help” (by eating half the chocolate chips). But amidst the mess, something magical happened: those Triple Chocolate Brownies, slightly burnt and all, were devoured in minutes. That’s mom life, isn’t it? Imperfect, messy, but oh-so-sweet.
I know the feeling of wanting to bake something decadent but feeling completely overwhelmed. That’s why I’m here to share my sanity-saving recipe for Triple Chocolate Brownies. We’re talking fudgy, rich, and loaded with chocolate goodness. And trust me, if I can make them amidst the daily craziness of three kids, a dog, and mountains of laundry, you can too! I’m inviting all my fellow kitchen warriors to join me.
INGREDIENTS You’ll Need:

- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
- 3 ounces white chocolate chips
This Triple Chocolate Brownies ingredient list is SHORT. Mama doesn’t have time for fancy! No worries if you don’t have dark chocolate on hand, use milk chocolate or even more semi-sweet. I do it all the time. You can grab almost everything at Target while doing your regular grocery run.
Here’s a Triple Chocolate Brownies trick that saved my sanity. Melt your butter in the microwave using a microwave-safe container. Use that same container to mix the wet ingredients. One less dish to wash! My family loves when I add extra chocolate chips to my Triple Chocolate Brownies. I never measure, and just toss them in by the handful. Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Let’s Make it Happen!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan. Or, line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal of the Triple Chocolate Brownies.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Don’t worry if it’s not perfectly smooth. This chocolate brownie recipe is very forgiving.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Now, is the perfect time to fold that laundry pile. Don’t forget to add a splash of coffee for yourself too!
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. If you are feeling extra, use Dutch process cocoa powder for an even darker, richer chocolate flavor.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix! Overmixing can lead to tough fudgy brownies instead of the soft, chewy texture we’re after.
- Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, chopped dark chocolate, and white chocolate chips. Save a few chocolate chips to sprinkle on top if you’re feeling fancy!
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. These Triple Chocolate Brownies should smell amazing by now!
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Don’t panic if your Triple Chocolate Brownies looks a little wobbly. It will continue to set as it cools.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Use a plastic knife to cut the brownies for cleaner edges!
Here’s where I used to mess up my Triple Chocolate Brownies. I would always overbake them. I learned to take them out when a toothpick still had some moist crumbs. While your Triple Chocolate Brownies are doing its thing, pour yourself that well-deserved coffee! The time to prepare this easy brownie recipe is a quick 15 minutes.
