Triple Chocolate Brownies

When we crave a rich decadent chocolate treat, guess who gets sent to the kitchen to bake these rich, chewy, dark chocolate brownies? Their gold standard flavour is quick and easy to get in the oven and an absolutely essential part of any kitchen’s repertoire!

Serving: 12 Large Brownies

Tags: ,

Ingredients

8 ounces dark chocolate
1 cup Butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
pinch salt
4 eggs
2 cups brown sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).

To protect the chocolate from direct heat, melt it and the butter in a heatproof bowl set over a small pot of simmering water, stirring constantly. When the chocolate and butter have melted, whisk until smooth.

While the chocolate mixture cools slightly, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Add the eggs, sugar and vanilla to the chocolate and mix thoroughly. Stir in the flour mixture and chocolate chips until incorporated.

Pour batter into a lightly oiled and floured 9- x 13-inch (3.5 L) pan. Bake for exactly 25 minutes.

    In viewing the recipe is it calling for dark chocolate. Now my question is.

    I got the cook book for Christmas and tried this recipe out. I also added chopped pecans to the mix & Bernard Callebaut chocolate chunks instead of chips.
    The middle was very gooey after the exact 25mins of baking time. I believe my pan was a different size as well. I baked it a little longer & it was still gooey.. I gave up as it was getting quite crisp on top. After leaving it on the counter for awhile the middle firmed up and they turned out nice and ooey gooey soft brownies with a crisp outside.
    I just shared some with my co-workers and people are asking for the recipe.
    Delicious brownies!
    Love you on the Food Network. Love how your recipes are never precise. This is exactly how I cook as well. Bit of this a pinch of that.. and lots of improvisation.

    Just made the triple choc brownies.Very disappointed. Added the extra half cup of flour for cakey brownie and baked extra five minutes and they are a mushy mess in middle/centre.Looked beautiful on top. Doubt i will try to master this one again.

      Sometimes recipes need to be changed depending on what sea level you live at. Also, if you baked it in a different size dish than the original recipe then you might have to alter the baking time.

      Did you follow the recipe exactly? I just made some and turned out lumpy and a little sloppy? what did i do wrong

        Did you sift your flour and cocoa powder? That makes a huge difference.

  6. These sound great. I have not found a really good recipe that I can fall back on. Looking forward to trying these out.

    Thanks!

    My little cousin loves these brownies and has requested them for her birthday. How would I turn these lovely moist fudgy brownies into a birthday cake with strawberries? Any ideas?

  9. Mmmm, this would be good for my afternoon tea! LOL!

    Perfect! The only thing we did differently was use a 9×9″ pan. :)

    in the recipe for the brownies, how much butter is in 2 “sticks”?

    • Brenda-Lee said: On Feb 21, 2011

      Hi Ferne,
      For every ‘stick’ of butter in a recipe, it equals 1/2 cup.
      Hope you get this before you need it!
      Good luck… they sound absolutely delicious, don’t they?

    There is no amount for the chocolate?
    I .m working as a chef in a day care center feeding 180 kids do you have any menu suggestions for healthy meals.

  14. Beatrice said: On Jan 13, 2011

    Dear Chef,
    There is no amount for the egg white in the coconut
    macaroon cookies and no amount for the chocolate
    in the Brownies.Would you please send me the correction.My Grandma always left out something
    in her renditions. They say that is a sign of a good cook.
    Best Wisher
    Thank You

Variation

These are a moist fudgey-style brownie. For a more cake-like version, add an extra 1/2 cup of flour to the batter.
