What is triple chocolate?
Generally, triple chocolate recipes and baked goods use three types of chocolate, but what those types of chocolate are differs. Triple Chocolate Brownie Cups can be made with semisweet, milk, or white chocolate, or with cocoa powder, semisweet, and bittersweet chocolate. The former is much sweeter and lighter in color than the other, which has a deeper chocolate flavor. It also makes a difference whether you use chopped chocolate or chocolate chips. Chocolate chips have stabilizers added so they hold their shape when baked, but chopped chocolate, whether bittersweet or milk, will melt in the batter.
This brownie cup uses equal amounts of chopped bittersweet chocolate, milk chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips. It also contains a small amount of unsweetened cocoa powder, so you can call it a 4x chocolate brownie cup. By combining various chocolates, you can enjoy a deep chocolate flavor with plenty of sweetness from milk and white chocolate.
