- Butter
- Chocolate Spread – Your favorite chocolate spread will work. Nutella is popular, but Hershey’s has one without hazelnuts for an allergen-friendly alternative.
- Granulated Sugar
- Eggs
- Vanilla Extract
- Salt
- All-Purpose Flour
- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
How To Make Triple Chocolate Brownie Skillet
- Preheat. Preheat your oven to 350º F, ensuring it’s ready to bake your delicious brownie creation to perfection.
- Combine Wet Ingredients. In a large bowl, mix the butter and chocolate spread until well combined.
- Incorporate Eggs and Sugar. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and sugar to the bowl and mix until the eggs are fully incorporated. You should have a smooth and uniform mixture.
- Add Dry Ingredients. Carefully incorporate the salt, flour, and cocoa powder into the mixture. Be mindful not to overmix. Then, fold in the chocolate chips to add an extra layer of indulgence.
- Prepare Skillet and Pour Batter. Spray a 9-inch cast iron skillet with non-stick spray, ensuring even coverage. Pour the brownie batter into the skillet, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edge.
- Bake Until Mostly Done. Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the brownies are mostly done. The center may appear underdone, but don’t worry. It will continue to set as it cools.
- Cool and Serve. Allow the brownies to cool slightly before serving. Top with ice cream, a drizzle of chocolate spread, and a sprinkling of chocolate chips. Enjoy!
Recipe Tips & Tricks
- Don’t Overmix the Batter. Be careful not to overmix the batter once you’ve added the dry ingredients to avoid a tough or dense texture in your brownies.
- Add Extra Mix-Ins. Get creative and incorporate additional mix-ins like chopped nuts, caramel bits, or marshmallows.
- Experiment with Toppings. Customize your brownie experience by experimenting with toppings such as whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
- Don’t forget to leave a 1-inch border. When pouring the brownie batter into the skillet, leave a 1-inch border around the edges because the batter will spread while baking. This way, you’ll still enjoy a thick, gooey center and not too much crispiness. It’s all about balance!
- Remove the brownies from the oven before they’re fully cooked. The cast iron skillet retains heat and will continue to cook the brownies even after they’ve been pulled out. This prevents overbaking and ensures a gooey, fudgy center.
You can use any brand or variety of chocolate spread you prefer. Nutella and Hershey’s are popular choices, but feel free to experiment with your favorite brand. You could even use your own Homemade Nutella if you prefer.
Bake the brownies for 25-30 minutes or until they’re mostly done. The center may appear slightly gooey, but this is normal. The residual heat from the cast iron skillet will continue to cook the brownies after removing them from the oven.
Allow it to cool completely before covering it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Alternatively, transfer individual portions to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
