These Triple Chocolate Brownies are fudge brownies made with unsweetened chocolate, dark chocolate, and white chocolate.
Triple Chocolate Brownies
I lied about the name of these brownies. While they’re called “triple chocolate brownies,” I technically used four chocolates:
- 1.) unsweetened chocolate (cocoa powder and solid chocolate),
- 2.) extra dark chocolate chips,
- 3.) semi-sweet chocolate chips, and
- 4.) white chocolate chips.
The difference between dark chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate chips is negligible. I would only call these quadruple chocolate brownies if I had included milk chocolate chips.
(Note to self: add milk chocolate chips to shopping list.)
It’s the last week before Christmas (and Hanukkah). It’s the last week of chaos, endless to-do lists, and insane parking situations. During this busy time of travel, menu planning, and everything else holiday and party related, it’s good to take a break and breathe.
These triple chocolate brownies promise relaxation. Each bite comes with a soothing warm hug. Chocolate lovers of all ages will rejoice in the amount of chocolate goodness in each serving.
Butter and Coconut Oil Combine Forces
These brownies are dense and fudge-like with a slightly crisp exterior. They’re made with a mixture of butter and coconut oil.
These brownies are perfect for mailing to far away friends. They stay moist days after baking. And in a few days, you’ll see that these brownies are PERFECT for making into milkshakes (brownie milkshake recipe here!).
Stop what you’re doing and make these brownies. You’ll thank me in about an hour.
Triple Chocolate Brownies
Ingredients
- 8 Tablespoon unsalted butter (113 g)
- 3 Tablespoon coconut oil (42 g)
- 4 oz unsweetened chocolate, roughly chopped (113 g)
- 5 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (25 g)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200 g)
- ¾ cup dark brown sugar, paked (160 g)
- 3 large eggs, whisked
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (130 g)
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup white chocolate chips (85 g)
- ½ cup extra dark chocolate chips* (85 g)
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (85 g)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on all four sides of pan. Lightly grease with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, add butter, coconut oil, chopped unsweetened chocolate, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Fill a medium pot with about two inches of water. Bring to a boil and remove from heat.
- Place bowl over pot of water (making sure bowl does not touch water) and allow ingredients to gently melt. Stir as needed to ensure even melting. Add sugar and brown sugar. Mix until sugars have been thoroughly incorporated. Remove bowl from pot. Allow mixture to cool slightly before stirring in whisked eggs and vanilla.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder. Add to melted chocolate mixture and mix until there are no longer any dry streaks of flour. Add extra-dark chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips. Fold to combine. Be careful not to over mix.
- Pour batter into prepared baking pan. Smooth into an even layer. Bake for 28-30 minutes until the surface of the brownies are set and a toothpick inserted in center of brownies comes out clean. Allow brownies to cool in pan for 15-20 minutes.
- Lift brownies out of pan using parchment overhang. Transfer brownies to wire rack to cool. Once cooled, slice brownies into desired portions. Store brownies are room temperature in an airtight container.
Notes
- I used this 8-inch square baking pan.
- Warm brownies will be difficult to slice into clean portions. Wait for brownies to cool to room temperature.
- I used these 63% extra dark chocolate chips.
- Use any mixture of chocolate chips to equal 1 1/2 cups (milk chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, mint chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, etc)
- Overbaking the brownies will result in a dry, cakey texture. It is better to err on the side of underbaked.
Wow, these look amazing! So rich and fudgy with that perfect flaky top!
Thank you!
Three, Four it doesn’t matter how much chocolate because these look INCREDIBLE!

You can never go wrong with anything triple chocolate! ;) These brownies look amazing!
Hello,
I’m allergic to coconut and was hoping I’m able to substitue it for something else because these are the best looking brownies I’ve ever seen! Thank you
Simply sub in melted butter or a neutral flavored oil like vegetable oil or grapeseed oil.
I am wondering if this recipe can be doubled for a 13x 9 baking pan. thanks in advance. I am so excited to try this brownie recipe
Hi there! Yes, you can double the recipe to fit a 9×13-inch baking pan. Baking time will roughly be the same.
wonder why your recipes are not in metric which is internationally use :)
When I started my blog in 2010 a big portion of my readers were based in the US. I am all for metric measurements (especially because its far more accurate for baking). This is an older recipe, I have yet to adjust this recipe for international readers. However, my newer recipes are both listed in US and metric measurements.
I love this recipe so much. Family and friends are crazy about it. It’s brilliant how you have combined butter and coconut oil. But some of my vegetarian friends have asked for these brownies without egg. I tried to substitute egg with yogurt but was not the same. Could you pls provide any other suggestions to make this recipe eggless? Thank you so much for this heavenly chocolate brownie recipe.
Thanks for sharing! I’m glad you and your family enjoyed the recipe! I have not made eggless brownies. However, if I were to try it, I would use sub in flaxseed eggs (ground flaxseed mixed with water).
would be good
we are using metric for measurement here ,,,,,,
