  • INSTANT CHOCOLATE PUDDING MIX
  • MILK
  • CHOCOLATE CAKE MIX
  • SEMI-SWEET CHOCOLATE CHIPS

Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This ensures that your brownies bake evenly. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan and set it aside. This will prevent the brownies from sticking and make for easy removal.

Mix the Pudding: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pudding mix and milk. Stir the mixture until it starts to thicken, creating a rich and creamy base for your brownies.

Add the Cake Mix: Stir in the chocolate cake mix until fully combined. This adds an extra layer of fudgy goodness to the brownies.

Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the brownie batter. This will create pockets of melted chocolate in every bite. Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly to the edges.

Bake the Brownies: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-40 minutes. You’ll know the brownies are done when the center springs back when lightly touched.

Cool and Cut: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least one hour before cutting them into squares. This helps them set and makes them easier to slice.

Finish with Powdered Sugar: For an extra touch of sweetness and a beautiful presentation, dust the tops of the brownies with powdered sugar just before serving.

This recipe makes 15 servings of delectable triple chocolate brownies. Enjoy these delicious treats with family and friends, and savor the rich, chocolaty flavors!

Can I use a different type of chocolate cake mix for this triple chocolate brownies recipe?
Absolutely! Devil’s food or even a chocolate fudge cake mix will work well.

Can I add any mix-ins?
Yes! Try adding chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans), chopped candy bars (like Snickers or Reese’s Pieces), or even a few extra chocolate chips.

How do I know when the brownies are done baking?
The brownies are done when the center of the pan springs back when lightly touched. You can also insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out with a few moist crumbs but not raw batter, the brownies are ready.

How should I store leftover brownies?
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.

Can I use different kinds of chocolate chips?
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with semi-sweet, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even a mix of different types.

Can I use a different size pan for this chocolate brownie recipe?
While the recipe calls for a 9 x 13 inch pan, you can use a different size pan if needed. Adjust the baking time accordingly, as smaller pans may require a longer baking time, and larger pans may require a shorter baking time.
