Triple Chocolate Brownies – Back to Basics

Just wanted to say thank you so much for this excellent recipe. I made them at the weekend as part of a 70th birthday afternoon tea and they were perfect – best brownies I’ve ever tasted, let alone baked myself! I used the really cheap supermarket chocolate and they were still ridiculously luxurious.

Hi Jane,

Would light brown sugar work in this recipe instead of caster sugar?

Thanks

Hi Jane! I love this recipe..I really want to make tomorrow but I only have medium eggs. Would it work using 4? Thanks!

Hi can I use an 8inch square tin for this and if so do I cook it longer thanks xx

Hi Jane,
Your recipes are by far the best. I use your base brownie mix and add different flavours. However I’m just wondering can you use white granulated sugar instead of light brown and Stork or a cake spread instead of unsalted butter?
Also I’ve found that the recipe halved fits a 8” round tin perfectly but I’m hit and miss with the bake time. What would you recommend?
Thank you. X

Hi Jane, hope your well. If I was to make this brownie recipe in a 9/10inch round tin, and make a ‘brownie cake’ would this work? Would I potentially need to do anything different?

Hi Jane
I’ve tried making these tonight in a 8″ silicone tray and theyve crisped on edges and remained wobbly in the middle. I’m also using a conventional gas oven no fan at gas mark 4. Any advice to get them right? Xx

I need to nail a brownie they haunt me x x x

Awesome recipe, thanks. Mine came out dark brown and slightly flakey on top rather than light brown and flakey. The brownie itself was fine but just curious if you think this was because they were cooked on 160 rather than 170 in a fan oven? Going to try them again on 170 for the minimum time in the next few days to see if theres a difference. X

Amazing

Does this recipe create a cheesy brownie? It’s the top crispy – I’m looking for a chewy crispy recipe and not to gooey or cakey? Thanks 🙂

Hi love your page !!
If I wanted to make this in a 9×13 pan how much would I increase the ingredients and how long would it take in the oven

Hiya

I am a huge fan and love your recipes. I am baking for my hospital maternity ward to say thank you for delivering my baby so want to do 4 x this recipe. Can I bake two lots of double the recipe in a larger tray?! Or do I need to do the whole thing 4 times?

Thanks so much

These are delicious. Not top of list for your brownies but that doesn’t mean they don’t taste good because they do!

These are amazing! So damn good. Anyone know if you can freeze them once they’ve been cooked? Xxx

The best brownies I’ve ever made! So gooey and addictive but simple to follow!
Thank you!

Best brownie recipe, thank you for sharing!

I’m making them for family and friends for Xmas and wondered if I can just double the quantities?

Love, Claire x

These are the best brownies I’ve ever made! They are so gooey and moorish! I recommend them to anyone that’s after a good brownie recipe!

Another great recipe! There is A LOT of chocolate in this recipe but so worth it!

My go to brownie recipe! Always a hit with friends and family, seem to go even fudgier after being in the fridge once cooled!

The best brownies ever! These have been requested again and again. Someone told me if he’d paid £5 for just two of these from Marks & Spencers, he’d be more than happy as they were so good.

Amazing brownies!! The best recipe I have ever found! These are a family favourite they go down so well we now have to make two batches at a time! Your recipes never fail! Thank you so much

Can you help with quantities and timings for this recipe to use an 18×12″ tin? I need to make it in bulk 🙈 x

Hi Jane,

I can’t get that 9inch tin in my area. I can only get and 8 inch tin. Is there anyway I can just this recipe.

Thanks

Hi Jane,

Could I leave put the white chocolate. Would It make a difference

Tried these today, used an electric whisk for 3 mins for the eggs and sugar and folded everything in gently. However, the mixture seemed quite stodgy so it took some time getting into the tin. Once baked, it didn’t have the thin paper layer like yours did in the pictures and it lacked height, where did I go wrong? X

Hi Jane I love these brownies I made them the other day but I’m not sure if I got the ratio right. I have a 8×8 square tin and they took 60 min to bake. Could you please break down the recipe for me I would really appreciate it with the baking time also thanks

If I use a 9 x 13 inch tin for these brownies and I need to adhust the recipe x1.5- how many eggs would be needed?

Best brownie recipe ever – think the whisking made all the difference. My friends and family loved them!

This is definitely my go to brownie recipe.Thank you

How long would I need to whisk if using an electric hand whisk?

Hi Jane
Any idea why my chocolate chips sink to the bottom and burn? Never turn out lovely and melted like in your photos! I use the callebaut chips

How can you tell if the mixture is too runny before putting it in the oven and how to prevent this?

Did you use the 54.5% or 70% Callebaut? Thank you.

Hi Jane, I’m about to make these but the recipe says use a 9×9 tray but I’ve only got an 8×8 tray. Do I adjust the baking time? If so, how much longer do I bake it for?

This is my go to recipe!! My family members love when I bake these, they disappear within minutes! Thank you 😍

Made a few times and the recipe is perfect. Everyone who tried loved them! Will be making many more times

Hi Jane

I’m baking a large volume this week, but I need to make lotus biscoff and aero as well as triple chocolate too… I was wondering if I could basically use this recipe for all of them as a base and just swap the choc chunks for the biscoff/Aeros in those trays!?

Please help as I need to make around 180!!!!

These are absolutely amazing!! All my family loved them, thank you for this recipe xx

Jane help! I’ve made these brownies but they’re undercooked. I’ve cooled them so can’t put them back in the oven but they’re just so Gooey and I can’t cut them! What do I do?!!!

Hi Jane -Lovvvvvvveeeeee this recipe! Can you cut it up into pieces and freeze? How long can I freeze these for? I love trying your recipes! x

I’ve just made these for Father’s Day they look and smell delicious! My only worry was when I put a cocktail stick in I had no mixture on it but now I’ve cut it, it’s so gooey it doesn’t look like the mixture is cooked is this normal?

Hi jane,
When i first tried ur recipe i loved it(using a local dark chocolate for the base) then to make it even better i used callebaut block with 70% cocoa & callets as stated in ur recipe but my brownies turned out too dry & bitter, can u please suggest why that happened?

Hey Jane, I love all of your recipes so much thank you!
I was wondering which of the brownie recipes would make the best ‘base’ so I maybe could double it and do 2 or 3 different flavours rather than doing multiple batches if I want a few different flavours, I hope that makes sense!! I have made the lotus brownies (omg) and the kinder (OMG OMG) but just unsure if I could save myself a bit of time. Thanks!!!

Love your recipes! They always go down a storm whenever I make them. I was wondering however, would it make a difference to the mixture if I added the eggs/sugar to the melted chocolate/butter instead of vice versa. As I mix my eggs/sugar in a metal mixer bowl & always find the choc always sticks to the edges making it harder for me combine all ingredients when folding?x

My brownies are going bubbly round the edges, what is this caused by? X

Absolutely banging! I’ve been making my way through your brownies. These top the list followed by Terry’s chocolate orange. Biscoff next. Your brownie recipes are insane

Ive made a few batches of these now and they’re absolutely the best Brownies EVER!
When will you be posting the Brownie cake please because I just cannot wait and would like to have a run through before my daughters birthday in July. Thanks x

Just waiting on mine cooling.
It’s the first time I’ve made brownies (and my 2yro daughter) and they look & smell absolutely delicious.
I’m going to add a white chocolate topping and some chocolate jazzies.
There for my partners work colleagues who work for the NHS. My little way of saying thank you.
Thank you for the recipe. 😋

Love the recipes for the brownies! I’ve tried a few of the brownie recipes now with lots of great feedback!
I used green and black for the chocolate (chunks) this time, do you think it would work will with Lindt too, say the bars that are slightly gooey inside or would this effect the brownie cooking?

Made these yesterday and they are so lovely!
I’ve been asked to make a brownie cake for a birthday next week, can I use this recipe or will I need to adapt it in anyway ? Or do you have a 2 or 3 layer brownie cake recipe?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Jane! I absolutely love this recipe. Can I use light brown sugar instead of caster sugar? X

Hiya I don’t have Choc chips can I use normal milk dark and white choc bars and chop them?

I’ve always struggled when making browines but the recipe is honestly so easy to follow and tastes amazing. I’ve followed a few of your recipes for cheesecake and your microwaveable cookies and I love them ❤️

Absolutely divine brownies – best recipe I’ve tried ever! Gooey and chocolatey – a real brownie! Thanks 🙂

Making these now, they look delicious… I am a bit concerned though mine have been in 55 minutes and the skewer is still covered in chocolate, oven temperature is definitely correct. I’ll see how they turn out!

This is a faultless recipe! I can never get the mix or bake right and these are bang on!

I really love the basics series of recipes as I’m new to this. This recipe was so easy to follow and tasted unreal! I actually couldn’t believe I had made them!

Delicious brownies! Easy to follow, step by step guide. Complete perfection. No other words necessary!

THE easiest and best brownie recipe ever. Every time I bake brownies I follow this it’s soooo yum.

Made these yesterday- absolutely delicious, ooey, gooey, melt in your brownies. I crushed some Oreos on top as my 4 yr old requested which was a great addition. I also used 100g plain flour (as per Jane’s Easter egg brownies) which again worked really well.

Another fantastic recipe by Jane!

Aghhh I always write it twice!!

Hi Jane,

I only have 150g of dark chocolate in my cupboard, would this still be okay to use and just add some ,ilk to Will this ruin the recipe?

Thank you 🙂

Hello again, could you use 4 medium eggs instead of 3 large? Xx

Wow. These brownies are INSANE. Best brownie recipe I’ve used! Thank you so much x

Brilliant recipe, made it many times! Occasionally I end up with a cracked top & shiny film.. any tips as to why? Thanks 🙌🏽

can i use stork instead of proper unsalted butter? xx

An amazing recipe! I followed this recipe yesterday, and I was so thrilled with the outcome! My Dad even said they were some of the best brownies he’s ever eaten, so happy days! 😊

Hi, I tried to make these brownies and even with 40 minutes in the oven they were virtually molten – I followed the recipe to a T so I’m not sure where this went wrong – any advice?

I am going to make brownies this weekend but with an easter twist, im going to top with chocolate cornflake cake mix. Will these be sturdy enough to hold that density on top do you think if i cook them a little longer or are they too gooey?
Thank you 😊

Is it possible to overmix the egg and sugar?

Another perfect, easy to follow recipe! Didn’t have a big enough tray but split it into two smaller ones and they came out fab! Love that the measurements for the chocolate are a round number, easy to buy without having random chunks leftover! (Hate dark chocolate so leftovers just get thrown away).
The only problem I have with your blog, is having to decide which of your fab recipes to try next!

Hi, can these be turned into protein brownies?? If so what do i substitute?
