Life can be hard, but dessert can be simple. With only four simple ingredients you can have these tasty triple choc brownies ready in under an hour.There’s something so delicious about the crispy tops and edges and soft, fudgy centre of these brownies. Brownies really are decadent morsels that make the perfect sweet treat for any occasion.

An American classic, brownies are thought to have been “invented” by accident when a New England housewife forgot to add the baking powder to a chocolate cake she was making. Chocolate lovers around the world have enjoyed that result, in one form or another, for more than a century

Brownies can be light and cake-like, fudgy and dense, or moist and chewy depending on the ratio of chocolate and butter to flour. This recipe produces a brownie that’s a happy medium between fudgy and cake-like. Reduce the baking time by 10 minutes if you prefer a more moist brownie.
