These triple chocolate brownies are fudgy and dense with a crinkly top and studded with three kind of chocolate morsels.
The secret to these brownies is using malted chocolate milk (MILO by Nestle). I grew up drinking this chocolate milk and its a childhood favorite.
Using Milo (chocolate flavored malted milk) adds depth of flavor to this recipe and contributes to the incredible chewiness.
I urge you to get this ingredient. Any well-stocked supermarket carries Milo usually in the Hispanic products aisle.
These brownies are also terrific with a layer of Dulce de Leche on top instead of your usual chocolate frosting.
Why these brownies are the best
These brownies scream chocolate. They have melted dark chocolate in the batter, semisweet chocolate chips folded in and chunks of milk chocolate that create pockets of melty chocolate bursts here and there.
Also the chocolate malted milk adds another layers of sweet chocolate flavor and for that reason we can pull back on the sugar a bit and still make these brownies perfectly balanced.
Ingredients tips
Full list of ingredients and measurements are at the bottom in the printable recipe card.
- Chocolate: These brownies use three kinds of chocolate. Of course you could use just one kind but having the contrast between semi sweet and milk chocolate, gives these brownies a perfect balance.
- Milo: This unexpected ingredient is key. It makes the brownies rich and fudgy in the best way possible.
- Butter: When it comes to butter I like to use the best quality butter I can find, for baking I always use unsalted butter.
How to cut the perfect brownie
To make the perfect square brownies with clean edges, run your knife through hot water before you slice the brownies.
You can also spray your knife with a little bit of oil spray and proceed to cut the brownie.
Storing brownies
If you have any leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container. They will keep well at room temperature for up to 2 days.
You can also freeze the brownies, for up to 2 months. I recommend wrapping them individually with cling wrap and placing them in a ziplock bag.
