• 1 cup (210g) granulated sugar

Directions :

Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9×9 inch pan with parchment. Spray the paper so the brownies lift out fast after they cool.

In a medium pan, melt butter and semi sweet chips over medium heat. Stir all the time so the chocolate does not burn. When smooth, set it aside to cool a bit.

In a large bowl, whisk the room temp eggs, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until smooth. Do not whip too much.

Pour the melted butter and chocolate into the egg mix. Whisk until just mixed.

Add flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Whisk only until you do not see dry bits. Do not overmix.

Fold in the cup of chips and any bits you like. Pour the batter into the pan.

Bake for 30–40 minutes. The top should shine and start to crack. The center should not jiggle much. A toothpick will come out with a few moist crumbs.

how to serve Triple Chocolate Brownies

Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes. Lift them out with the parchment and cut into squares. Serve warm or room temp. Add a scoop of plain ice cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. You can also serve with coffee or milk.
