Let’s Make Some!
Alright, let’s get baking! This Triple Chocolate Brownies recipe is so easy, it’s practically foolproof. Follow along, and you’ll be sinking your teeth into chocolate heaven in no time.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan. This is essential for preventing the brownies from sticking!
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract. This is where the delicious magic starts happening!
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. This ensures everything is evenly distributed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix! Overmixing can lead to tough brownies, and nobody wants that. This is my favorite part of making Triple Chocolate Brownies – watch the magic happen!
- Fold in the dark chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and semi-sweet chocolate chunks. Make sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Don’t worry if your Triple Chocolate Brownies looks slightly underbaked; they will continue to set as they cool. This timing is crucial for fudgy brownies. In my kitchen, this Triple Chocolate Brownies usually takes about 28 minutes to get that perfect gooey center.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This is the hardest part, I know! It allows the brownies to set properly and prevents them from falling apart. While your Triple Chocolate Brownies are doing its thing, get ready for some amazing aromas!
- Cut, serve, and prepare to be amazed!
Here’s a helpful tip: if you want even cleaner cuts, chill the brownies in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before slicing. I discovered that little happy accident during a particularly warm day, and now I do it all the time!

How to Serve Up This!
Okay, so you’ve baked these incredible Triple Chocolate Brownies. But how do you take them from delicious to unforgettable? Let me share some of my favorite serving suggestions!
First, let’s talk pairings. These Triple Chocolate Brownies are amazing on their own, but they’re even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The cold ice cream against the warm, fudgy brownie is a match made in heaven!
Another bold flavor pairing I love is a drizzle of salted caramel sauce. The saltiness cuts through the richness of the chocolate, creating a perfect balance. I swear, people literally do happy dances when this Triple Chocolate Brownies hits the table with salted caramel and ice cream! Find more inspiration for serving with a great Best Brownies Recipe.
For presentation, dust the brownies with a little cocoa powder or powdered sugar for a beautiful, elegant touch. Or, get creative and drizzle them with melted white chocolate for a stunning contrast.

Got leftovers? (If you do, you’re stronger than me!) Crumble them up and use them as a topping for ice cream sundaes or milkshakes. I have even been known to make an amazing bread pudding from them. Waste not, want not!
I’ve also experimented with a few fusion variations. Adding a hint of chili powder to the batter gives these brownies a subtle kick. It might sound crazy, but trust me, it works!
I love to serve these Triple Chocolate Brownies warm, right out of the oven. The reactions are always the same: wide eyes, happy sighs, and chocolate-covered smiles.
