These triple chocolate brownies are the best homemade brownies for all chocolate lovers that are made from scratch. They are so delicious and have a very rich chocolate flavor. They taste great whether you eat them right out of the oven, eat them cold, or if you warm them up in the microwave. These brownies are extra yummy when served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a squirt of whipped topping out of the can, or a spoonful of cool whip on top.
You can also sprinkle a dusting of powdered sugar over the top of them. And for an even more fudgy chocolaty taste, spread some chocolate fudge frosting over the top of the brownies after they are done baking in the oven and have cooled.
This triple chocolate brownies recipe uses three types of chocolate in them: cocoa powder, white chocolate chips, and dark chocolate chips. You can trade out the kinds of chocolate chips to your preference. Other kinds of chocolate chips that you can use instead are bittersweet chocolate chips, semisweet chocolate chips, and milk chocolate chips.

👨🍳 How to Make Triple Chocolate Brownies (Step-by-Step Instructions with Detailed Photos)
Step 1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2. Making The Brownie Batter
This brownie recipe is super easy to make, so let’s get started.
Take 1 stick of butter – 1 stick of butter equals 1/2 cup of butter – out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature until it has softened.
After the butter is soft, add it together with 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract in a medium bowl.
Step 3. Mix the Butter, Sugar, and Vanilla Extract
With a hand mixer or spatula, blend the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract altogether.
Step 4. Add the Eggs to the Mixing Bowl
In the same bowl, add 2 eggs together with the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract mixture.
Step 5. Blend the Eggs with the Butter, Sugar, and Vanilla Extract
With a hand mixer or spatula, mix the 2 eggs altogether with the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy smooth.
Step 6. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, add 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour together with 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to create the flour mixture.
Then add the flour mixture to the eggs, butter, sugar, and vanilla extract mixture. After that, mix thoroughly creating the brownie batter.
Step 7. Add Goodies to the Chocolate Mixture
Add 1 cup of white chocolate chips together with 1 cup of dark chocolate chips to the brownie batter. Mix thoroughly with a spatula. This would be a good time for you to add walnuts or anything else you would like to be in the brownie batter.
Note: Also, if you prefer, you can use milk chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips or any other favorite types of chocolate.
Step 8. Pour Batter into an Oven-Ready Baking Pan
Overlap a piece of parchment paper in a 9-inch x 9-inch baking pan. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan inside the parchment paper.
Note: If you don’t have parchment paper, you can spray the baking dish with cooking spray or rub some vegetable oil (or your favorite cooking oil) on the pan, then dust it with a little bit of flour.
The use of parchment paper is to eliminate the use of oil. Also, less clean-up. After baking the brownies, you can lift the parchment paper right out of the pan with the brownies in it. Also, the brownies will not stick to the parchment paper.
Step 9. Spread Out the Brownies
Spread the brownie batter evenly in the baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for a baking time of 35 minutes. After the brownies have been baked for 35 minutes, they are done but will need to cool down for a bit. Make sure to let the brownies completely cool before cutting into them or else they will fall apart. The melted chocolate in the brownies needs to re-solidify to make them the best chewy brownies.

It’s not a good idea to leave certain foods laying around on the countertop or in the refrigerator for a very long time.
Yes, you can freeze brownies after baking them in the oven. Brownies will last for about 3 months in the freezer. First, let the brownies cool, then cut them into individual servings.
