Triple-Chocolate Brownie Cups
Rachel Marek
Triple-chocolate brownies? A chocolate lover’s dream. These brownie cups are made with three different kinds of chocolate: dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and white chocolate, resulting in a dense, flavorful treat. We bake these brownies in single-serve muffin cups, making them perfect for packing in lunch or taking to a potluck party.
Peanut-Butter Swirl Brownies
Rachel Marek
Not only do these peanut butter swirl brownies look impressive, but they taste even better. The peanut butter and chocolate flavors work together for a delicious, sweet and salty dessert. To create the perfect peanut butter swirl, we dollop spoonfuls of peanut butter into the brownie batter and use a knife to pull it back and forth through the batter for a marbleized look.
Loaf-Pan Buckeye Brownies
Inspired by the irresistible buckeye candies, these brownies are baked in a standard loaf pan and feature a ribbon of rich peanut butter cream filling in the middle. As they bake, the chocolate and peanut butter develop a caramel-like flavor.
Chewy Brownies
Baking the perfect chewy brownies is truly an art. This recipe requires unusual measurements and uses a combination of oil and butter for the perfect balance. We recommend using the highest-quality unsweetened chocolate available for mouth-watering results. And if you love a crackly crust, mix the chocolate, sugar, and eggs until they are shiny.
Slow-Cooker Triple Chocolate Brownies
If you’ve never tried our slow-cooker brownies, this is your sign. While they take longer to make than other brownie recipes, they’re perfectly moist and loaded with extra chocolate chips and walnuts. It’s a great option for feeding a crowd—the recipe yields 14 servings.
Rocky Road Brownies
Rocky road isn’t just for ice cream—try our delicious brownie recipe for a melt-in-your-mouth dessert. After baking, we top these brownies with a chewy layer of marshmallows, nuts, and more chocolate chips, then return them to the oven for about five minutes for the best results.
Fudgy Chocolate Brownies
The perfect fudgy brownie does exist—and we have the recipe. It uses all the staple ingredients and yields 16 servings, making it ideal for feeding a crowd. We love serving these brownies with vanilla bean ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate fudge to take them to the next level—because who doesn’t love more fudge?
Gluten-Free Fudgy Pecan Brownies
Finally, gluten-free brownies that don’t require specialty ingredients. Everything you need to make these rich, nutty brownies is already in your pantry. We swap out wheat flour for cornstarch and add cinnamon and chopped toasted pecans for extra flavor. The result is a dense, fudgy brownie that even those who aren’t gluten-free will love.
Whole-Wheat Brownies
If you’re looking for a healthier take on brownies, this could be your new go-to. We use whole-wheat flour and applesauce, but still include plenty of semisweet chocolate and cocoa powder to keep the rich, fudgy flavor.
Dark-Chocolate Spelt Brownies
Jonathan Lovekin
Spelt is a wheat flour—it’s a very good substitute for all-purpose flour with a sweet and nutty flavor. It’s also a healthier flour option that is low-glycemic. These brownies develop the shiny crust we all know and love, and they can be stored at room temperature for up to two days.
Fudgy Double-Chocolate Brownies
It doesn’t get much better than fudgy double-chocolate brownies. The prep time takes just 20 minutes, and your kitchen will be filled with the smell of chocolate in under an hour.
Cappuccino Brownies
This is where coffee meets chocolate in brownie form. The recipe stays simple, with no added toppings to mimic a cappuccino or latte—but these brownies are perfect served with your favorite coffee-flavored nightcap.
Fudgy Turtle Brownies
Level up your typical brownie recipe with pecan halves, cream caramel, and melted chocolate to emulate the old-fashioned turtle candies. It’s the perfect chewy, gooey, sweet treat to serve the kids or bring to a festive potluck. The recipe includes instructions for making caramel from scratch for the best results.
Chocolate-Chip Streusel Brownies
If you’re always torn between making cookies or brownies, we have the solution. This chocolate chip streusel brownie recipe combines the best of both desserts, with cakey edges and a fudgy center. Serve it warm with a scoop of ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Fudgy Chocolate Brownies with Green Sprinkles
Adding colorful sprinkles to your brownies will only make them even better—and more festive. For this recipe, we use green sprinkles on a perfectly fudgy brownie. Prefer a different color of sprinkles for a special occasion? Feel free to swap them out.
Pumpkin-Swirl Brownies
These pumpkin swirl brownies are an ideal fall treat. Chocolate and pumpkin purèe make the perfect pairing, creating a gooey, moist batch of brownies. They’re finished with a crunchy hazelnut topping.
