- 1 cup unsalted butter - 1 cup granulated sugar - 1 cup packed brown sugar - 4 large eggs - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract - 1 cup all-purpose flour - 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips - 1/2 cup white chocolate chips - 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks Fudgy triple chocolate brownies need good ingredients. Each one plays a key role. The butter gives these brownies a rich base. I use unsalted butter for control over the salt. The two sugars, granulated and brown, add sweetness and moisture. Brown sugar gives a nice depth. Next, the eggs make the texture smooth and soft. They also help the brownies rise a bit. The vanilla extract adds a warm flavor that pairs well with chocolate. The flour is the backbone of the recipe. It holds everything together. The unsweetened cocoa powder is what makes these brownies chocolatey and fudgy. For the real chocolate experience, I add semi-sweet chocolate chips for sweetness, white chocolate chips for creaminess, and dark chocolate chunks for richness. Each chocolate type brings its own taste, making the brownies a chocolate lover's dream. This mix of ingredients ensures a fudgy, rich, and decadent treat that is hard to resist. - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). - Prepare the baking dish with parchment paper. Start by heating your oven. This helps the brownies bake evenly. Next, take a 9x13 inch baking dish. Grease it lightly. Line the bottom and sides with parchment paper. Leave some paper hanging over the edges. This will help you lift the brownies out later. - Melt the butter and mix with sugars. - Incorporate eggs and vanilla. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir it often so it melts evenly. Once melted, remove it from heat. Add both the granulated and brown sugars. Mix well until the sugars blend. Let this mixture cool for about 5 minutes. Then, add the eggs one at a time. Mix well after each egg. Finally, whisk in the vanilla extract. The mixture should be smooth and creamy. - Sift dry ingredients together. - Fold dry into wet mixture carefully. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and flaky sea salt. This helps remove lumps. Gradually fold this dry mix into the wet mixture. Use a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. This keeps the brownies soft. - Fold in chocolate chips and chunks. - Transfer to the baking dish and bake. Now, fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and dark chocolate chunks. Make sure they spread evenly throughout the batter. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly with a spatula. If you like, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top. This adds a nice touch. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes. Check for doneness using a toothpick. It should come out with a few moist crumbs for that fudgy texture. - Cool in the pan and cut into squares. - Serving suggestions for optimal enjoyment. Let the brownies cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Use the parchment paper to lift them out. Place them on a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into squares. For a special treat, serve warm brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Drizzle with chocolate sauce for extra delight. Enjoy your rich and decadent brownies! To get that perfect fudgy texture, bake your brownies for 25-30 minutes. Use the toothpick test to check. Insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they are done. If it comes out clean, you may have overbaked them. Using room temperature ingredients is key. It helps combine everything smoothly. Cold eggs or butter can lead to uneven mixing. Always take them out of the fridge ahead of time. One big mistake is overmixing the batter. This can make your brownies dense. Mix just until combined, and you'll keep them light and fudgy. Another mistake is using the wrong pan size. Stick to a 9x13 inch pan for best results. A smaller pan can lead to thicker brownies, and a larger pan will make them too thin. You can boost flavor by adding nuts or extracts. Chopped walnuts or pecans add crunch. A splash of almond extract gives a nice twist. For a richer treat, try topping your brownies. A sprinkle of flaky sea salt enhances the chocolate. You can also add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. It pairs well with the warm brownies. {{image_4}} If you want a gluten-free version of these brownies, you can easily swap the flour. Use 1 cup of almond flour or a gluten-free all-purpose blend. These options keep the brownies moist and fudgy. Just make sure the blend has xanthan gum for the right texture. To make these brownies vegan, you can replace the eggs and butter. Use 1 cup of unsweetened applesauce for the eggs. For the butter, use 1 cup of coconut oil or vegan butter. This keeps the brownies rich and moist without any animal products. Want to jazz up your brownies? Try these fun flavors! - Mint Chocolate Brownies: Add 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract to the batter. This gives a fresh, minty flavor that pairs well with chocolate. - Peanut Butter Swirl Option: Drop spoonfuls of peanut butter into the brownie batter. Use a knife to swirl it in before baking. This adds a creamy, nutty taste to each bite. To keep your fudgy brownies fresh, first let them cool completely. Then, cut them into squares. Place them in an airtight container. This keeps them soft and moist. If you do not have an airtight container, use plastic wrap. Wrap each brownie individually. This helps prevent drying out. Freezing brownies is a great way to save them for later. Once cooled, cut the brownies into squares. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Freeze them for about an hour. After that, transfer the squares to a freezer-safe bag. Be sure to remove as much air as possible. To thaw, take them out and let them sit at room temperature for a few hours. You can also warm them in the microwave for a few seconds. At room temperature, your brownies will stay fresh for about 3 to 4 days. Keep them in an airtight container to ensure the best quality. If you want to keep them longer, freezing is the way to go! To check if your brownies are done, use the toothpick test. Insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they are ready. If it’s clean, the brownies might be overbaked. Look for a shiny top and slightly puffed edges. These signs show they are baked just right. Yes, you can swap some ingredients. For example, use coconut oil instead of butter. This change gives a different flavor and makes them dairy-free. You can also use brown sugar instead of white sugar for a richer taste. If you don’t have eggs, use applesauce or a flaxseed mix as a binder. Each swap can change the texture or flavor slightly. Brownies and fudge differ in texture and ingredients. Brownies are cake-like and often have flour. Fudge is denser, creamier, and does not use flour. Brownies have a brownie batter texture, while fudge is smooth and rich. Both are sweet, but they feel different in your mouth.

Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter (equivalent to 2 sticks)

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark, as preferred)

4 large eggs, at room temperature

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup white chocolate chips

1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks

A pinch of flaky sea salt for topping (optional but recommended)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by greasing it lightly and lining the bottom and sides with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.

    Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat, stirring occasionally to ensure it melts evenly. Once melted, take it off the heat and add in both the granulated and brown sugars. Stir well until the sugars are fully combined.

      Incorporate the Eggs and Vanilla: Allow the butter-sugar mixture to cool slightly for about 5 minutes. Then, whisk in the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition. Follow this by adding the vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

        Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and flaky sea salt. This ensures that there are no lumps and the ingredients are well combined.

          Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix, which can make the brownies dense.

            Add the Chocolate Goodness: Carefully fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and dark chocolate chunks until they are evenly distributed throughout the brownie batter.

              Pour and Spread: Transfer the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the surface to enhance the flavors.

                Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs attached. This ensures a perfectly fudgy texture.

                  Cool and Cut: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then, use the parchment overhang to lift them out of the pan and place them on a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into squares for serving.
