Triple Chocolate Glazed Brownies are for the hardcore chocolate lovers. Dark chocolate brownies made with chopped chocolate and topped with a chocolate glaze… are you hooked yet?
I have a serious case of the Mondays this week. Between my to-do list being 3 miles long, job stresses and moving stress…I just want to curl up and pretend like the rest of the week is a vacation. I had 3 cups of coffee today and it still wasn’t enough to keep me going. And then here I am writing this post at 9:30 tonight and I haven’t even had dinner yet. Well, unless you count the brownie I just ate. ;-)
When a long stressful day just won’t stop, there is only want thing to do. Bake Brownies! And top them with extra chocolate! AND SPRINKLES! At least, that is what I do. I’m pretty sure bright colored sprinkles have a direct happy line to my brain. It’s like a pure shot of serotonin.
I made these brownies in my favorite individual square pan. I have talked about it many times before, but this is seriously one of the best baking items my Mom has ever bought me that I had no idea I wanted or needed until I used it. I use it for mini cakes sometimes, but it is best for baking individual square brownies. Everyone gets the crispy edges and gooey center…it’s the best of both worlds. Plus, they are extra adorable.
These Triple Chocolate Glazed Brownies are divine, even if you don’t cover them in extra chocolate. I have been working on this recipe for quite some time because I used to be a boxed brownie kinda girl. I loved the flavor and the shiny crinkly top I got every single time I used the box. After months of tweaking this recipe, I think I have finally managed to make homemade brownies that are possibly better than the boxed kind. And just like the boxed ones, they only dirty up one bowl!
Triple Chocolate Glazed Brownies
Triple Chocolate Glazed Brownies are for the hardcore chocolate lovers. Dark chocolate brownies made with chopped chocolate and topped with a chocolate glaze... are you hooked yet?
Ingredients
- For the Brownies:
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 3 oz dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- For the Chocolate Glaze:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
- 2 oz bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
Instructions
For the Brownies:
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease your individual square pan. Set aside.
- In a medium sized pot over medium-high heat, melt butter. Whisk in dark chocolate and continue stirring until melted. Whisk in sugar, cocoa powder and water, whisking until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool for about 5 minutes.
- Add egg, additional egg yolk and vanilla extract – whisking like a mad woman so you don’t wind up with scrambled brownies. Then stir in flour and salt, until just combined.
- Fill each square with about 1/4 cup brownie batter, leaving a little room for rising. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let brownies cool for 10 minutes in pan, turn out onto wire rack and let cool completely.
- Brownies are best the next day, so store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
For the Chocolate Glaze:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add milk, corn syrup and chopped chocolate, stirring slowly to allow chocolate to melt completely. Once melted, remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar.
- Immediately spread the chocolate glaze on the top of each brownie and top with sprinkles or chopped up candies. Let frosting set for 10 minutes and serve!
Notes
Recipe Note: The actual brownies are much better the next day, so they are the perfect make ahead treat! Bake the brownies the day before and then ice them the day of!

For some reason, I read that as 1/4 cup flour lol. Still good, though some did fall in as they cooled :P
Since I didn’t have the brownie pan, I decided to try them in a large muffin pan instead – and they worked perfectly! I used 1/4 cup mixture in each hole and got just enough for 12. I baked them for 18-19 minutes and followed the rest of the directions to get the yummiest brownies!
I don’t have an individual square pan (yet!) but really want to try this recipe! Can you offer some baking tips for recommended pan size and baking time for “traditional” pan options? I dont mind under-cooked brownies, but surely don’t want to have over-cooked brownies! Thanks in advance!
In a traditional brownie pan, I think they would probably take about 35 – 40 minutes to bake! Just watch them closely! ;-)
these were unreal!!! so deliciously amazing!!
The look absolutely sinful! Hope you had a nice weekend!
Watch the comment about beat like a mad woman ! Men read your stuff too.
Yes, yes and YES! These look incredible, Jessica!
oh la la!! I love these.
These look so good. I’m not a huge fan of sprinkles, but my oldest sure is. I AM a big fan of oozing-over-the-edge chocolate sauce. Going to search my pantry for these ingredients now…
Hope you are feeling less stressed and enjoying Valentine’s Day!
Ok, so I totally have that pan and have never used it. I’m going to change that immediately!
Ohh my brother got one of those brownie pans for Christmas and I thought it was a silly As Seen on Tv thing… now I want one!!
Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, and SPRINKLES?!?! {thud} that’s me on the floor.
These are seriously amazing! Love all of the chocolate and, of course, the sprinkles!
Anything that starts with triple and includes chocolate in it has to be grade A!!
OK I know everyone else has already commented on this, but I just had to chime and say that I love the GIF! So cute!
Love the sprinkles in action!! Send me a pan?
Love ’em ~ especially with those sprinkles :)
these brownies look amazing my friend and i love the animated gif with you sprinkling the sprinkles on top!
OK, so I also need to have this pan in my kitchen. Oh! The wonderful things I can make with it, including these brownies. By the way, I will eat anything glazed in chocolate. =)
I’m glad that you made the comment about the individual brownie pan. Might have to get myself one. Yours look delicious.
Don’t be stressed! Though my to-do list is never ending as well, and I feel like every time I scratch something off I remember to add 5 things on >_< These brownies are sure to ease the stress :D And sprinkles make everything better heehee.
Love the little animation btw!
My mouth is watering! I’ve been craving brownies for two weeks since my last recipe attempt failed.
I love the live action photo!
It really is amazing how putting sprinkles on top makes everything in life feel better!!
How well do these adapt to a regular pan (for those of us who can’t wait on a mini-pan)?
Oooh, I need to add that pan to my wish list!
Sprinkles! Squee!! Brownies! Double squee!!! :)
I love brownies covered in chocolate. Sprinkles make them even more fun to eat.
Love it when brownies are better the next day! Can’t wait to try these :)
Brownies=dinner during stressful weeks. And that’s a fact.
These look so fun!!
I just got a square pan and these look like just the thing to make in them! :D I love the sprinkle gif!
Brownies are the only way to beat a case of the Mondays.
I have been wanting to get that pan for forever! I’m moving it up my “to-get” list!
I need that pan! These look so good! As if regular chocolate or double chocolate wasn’t enough already!
Good to know about that pan. I posted today about muffin top pans not really being all that they’re cracked up to be in my experience and have always wondered about the brownie pans.
Great looking brownies & GIF!
These look like they are sure to cure all of life’s problems :) I made brownies in my individual squares pan for the first time today. I sure wish I had found your recipe sooner because I had no idea how long to cook them . Also, your brownies look better than mine :). That moving sprinkle photo/video is really cool.
