Here’s a recipe for chocolate lovers: Milk Chocolate Truffle Brownies
Why is this a recipe for chocolate lovers, you might be asking? Well, it’s not your typical, ho-hum brownie, that’s for sure. Two types of chocolate make up the base of the brownie. Chocolate Truffle Squares (I used Ghirardelli) are broken into pieces and added to the top of the warm pan of brownies to create a third chocolate element. The chocolate lovers in my house thought these were fantastic. I had to hide the bulk of them in the depths of my freezer to keep my boys from chowing down on all of them!
This recipe comes from an awesome new book I got in the mail recently: The Ultimate Cookie Book (Better Homes and Gardens). I’m completely enamored with this book. It has 500 cookie and bar recipes in it. There are so many delicious choices and so many color photos of the goodies in the book that I’ve tagged dozens upon dozens of recipes that I must make! The book would also make a great holiday gift for someone who loves to bake.
The chocolate lovers in your life will be happy that you added these to your holiday baking list! Enjoy!

I just found this recipe on Pinterest and had to make it right away. I LOVE them! The brownies are so fudgey with a rich chocolate taste and the addition of the Ghiradelli squares puts them over the top. I was unable to find the truffle squares recommend but I just used milk chocolate Ghiradelli squares instead. I highly recommend these brownies.
Excellent! Glad you enjoyed so much.
Oh my but these brownies look like pure heaven! I think I need that cookbook! 🙂
These brownies look amazing, Lori! I love how fudgy and decadent they are! They would be gone in no time at our house!
I was just wondering if anyone has made these in a 9×12″ pan. I have a large family and a 9×9 pan just won’t be enough. I was thinking maybe double the recipe? Thanks!
You could probably double it and put it in a larger pan.
The more chocolate the better when it comes to brownies! These look like fudge central.
