Easy Triple Chocolate Brownies from Scratch

By Jason Griffith · March 3, 2026

Triple Chocolate Fudgy Brownies

If you believe there’s no such thing as too much chocolate, these Triple Chocolate Fudgy Brownies are your dream dessert. Made with melted semi-sweet chocolate, rich cocoa powder, and a generous mix of milk, white, and semi-sweet chocolate chips, these brownies are dense, gooey, and deeply indulgent.

They’re the kind of brownies that crack slightly on top, stay irresistibly fudgy in the center, and disappear fast at any gathering.


Why I Love This Recipe

As a food writer, I’m always testing brownie recipes, searching for that perfect balance between fudgy and structured. This one delivers:

  • Ultra-rich chocolate flavor
  • Dense, chewy texture
  • Crackly top
  • Three types of chocolate in every bite
  • Simple, pantry-friendly ingredients

These brownies don’t need frosting, glaze, or anything fancy. They’re perfect exactly as they are.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Pan

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.

2. Melt Butter & Chocolate

Melt butter and chopped semi-sweet chocolate together over a double boiler or in short microwave bursts. Stir until smooth. Whisk in cocoa powder and let cool slightly.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until thick and glossy.

4. Combine

Stir the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until smooth.

5. Add Dry Ingredients

Gently fold in flour and salt until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

6. Add Chocolate Chips

Fold in milk, white, and semi-sweet chocolate chips.

7. Bake

Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake 28–35 minutes until edges are set and the center is slightly soft. A toothpick should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.

8. Cool Completely

Let brownies cool fully before slicing for clean edges and maximum fudginess.


Tips for Perfect Fudgy Brownies

  • Slightly underbake for a gooier center.
  • Use room-temperature eggs for better incorporation.
  • Cool completely before cutting — patience pays off.
  • Use a hot knife (wipe between cuts) for clean squares.
