Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1 box dry chocolate cake mix (any brand)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Chocolate Pudding Layer

  • 2 cups chocolate milk
  • 1 package instant chocolate pudding mix (3.9 ounces)

Chocolate Ganache

  • 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC) and spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with non-stick spray to ensure easy removal of the brownies later.
  2. Make Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, combine the dry chocolate cake mix, eggs, and melted butter. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well combined; expect a very thick batter. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  3. Bake Brownie Base: Bake for 13 to 14 minutes or until the top springs back lightly when touched. Remove from oven and allow the brownie base to cool completely to room temperature, ensuring a stable layer for the pudding topping.
  4. Prepare Chocolate Pudding: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the chocolate milk and instant chocolate pudding mix until smooth and combined. Let it sit for 5 minutes so the pudding thickens adequately.
  5. Assemble Pudding Layer: Once thickened, spread the chocolate pudding evenly over the cooled brownie base. Place the pan in the refrigerator to keep the pudding firm while preparing the ganache.
  6. Make Chocolate Ganache: Put the semisweet chocolate chips in a bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan just until boiling or heat it in the microwave. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let sit for 5 minutes to melt the chocolate completely. Stir gently until the mixture is silky and smooth. Let the ganache cool for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  7. Apply Ganache and Chill: Drizzle the chocolate ganache evenly over the pudding layer. Use a spatula to gently spread it to cover the entire surface. Chill the assembled brownies for at least 2 hours to allow all layers to set properly.
  8. Serve: Once chilled and firm, slice into bars and serve chilled or at room temperature for a rich triple chocolate dessert experience.

Notes

  • Ensure the brownie base is fully cooled before adding the pudding layer to prevent melting or separation.
  • Use a spatula or spoon to evenly spread each layer for clean, visually appealing bars.
  • For an extra touch, garnish the ganache with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder before chilling.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Bring brownies to room temperature before serving for optimal flavor and texture.
