Ingredients

To create these heavenly triple chocolate brownies, gather the following ingredients:

For the Brownies

• 1 cup all-purpose flour, (plus 1 tablespoon for tossing chocolate chips in)
• ¾ cup cocoa powder, (unsweetened)
• 1 cup salted sweet cream butter
• 4 ounces bittersweet baking chocolate bar, (chopped)
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs, (room temperature)
• 2½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chip chunks, (divided in half)
• 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

How to Make Triple Chocolate Brownies

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your brownies bake evenly.

Step 2: Prepare Your Baking Pan

Grease your 9×13 inch baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper. This will help prevent sticking.

Step 3: Melt Chocolate and Butter

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine chopped bittersweet chocolate and salted butter. Stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and unsweetened cocoa powder until well combined.

Step 5: Mix Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, beat together granulated sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. Then add pure vanilla extract and melted chocolate mixture. Mix well.

Step 6: Combine All Ingredients

Gradually fold in the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in one cup of semi-sweet chocolate chip chunks.

Step 7: Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle remaining semi-sweet chocolate chip chunks on top. Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.

Step 8: Cool and Serve

Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before cutting them into squares. Enjoy these decadent treats warm or at room temperature!

How to Perfect Triple Chocolate Brownies

Perfecting triple chocolate brownies is all about technique and quality ingredients. Here are some tips to achieve brownie bliss.

• Use room temperature eggs – This helps create a smoother batter and ensures even mixing.
• Melt chocolate properly – Gently melt bittersweet baking chocolate using a double boiler or microwave for the best texture.
• Don’t overmix the batter – Mix just until combined to keep your brownies soft and chewy.
• Line your baking pan – Use parchment paper to line your pan, making it easier to remove the brownies without sticking.
• Check for doneness – Insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out with moist crumbs, not dry.

Best Side Dishes for Triple Chocolate Brownies

Pairing side dishes with triple chocolate brownies can enhance their deliciousness. Here are some great options to consider.

1. Fresh Fruit Salad – A mix of seasonal fruits adds brightness and freshness, balancing the richness of the brownies.
2. Vanilla Ice Cream – Classic and creamy, this complement brings extra sweetness and smoothness to each bite.
3. Chocolate Sauce – For true chocolate lovers, serve extra chocolate sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling.
4. Nutty Granola – Add crunch and texture by serving brownies with nutty granola, which contrasts nicely with their softness.
5. Coconut Whipped Cream – For a dairy-free option, coconut whipped cream provides a rich flavor that pairs well with chocolate.
6. Coffee or Espresso – The bitterness of coffee enhances chocolate flavors, making it an excellent pairing choice.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Making delicious triple chocolate brownies is easier when you avoid common pitfalls. Here are some mistakes to watch out for:

• Boldly skip the sifting: Not sifting your cocoa powder and flour can lead to lumps in your batter. Always sift for a smoother texture.
• Boldly ignore room temperature: Using cold eggs or butter can affect the mixing process. Make sure all ingredients, especially eggs and butter, are at room temperature.
• Boldly underestimate baking time: Overbaking can dry out your brownies. Check them a few minutes before the timer goes off; they should be firm but slightly soft in the center.
• Boldly forget to measure accurately: Baking is a science, and inaccurate measurements can ruin your brownies. Use measuring cups and spoons for precision.
• Boldly skimp on chocolate: Reducing the amount of chocolate can lead to less flavor. Stick to the recipe for that rich chocolate experience.
