Yes, you read that right. I’m calling these Triple Threat Brownies. These are chocolatey, fudgey and gooey. Everything you need to be considered a triple threat brownie in my book.
Don’t know what I’m talking about? In the entertainment world, you are considered a triple threat if you can sing, dance and act. In football, you’re a triple threat if you can run, pass the ball and kick.
And when it comes to brownies, they have to be chocolatey, fudgey and gooey. These brownies are even better because I added two special ingredients to up the *wow* factor and make them even more delicious.
I’m a part of Peanut Butter & Co’s 
Now, I took it one step further with these brownies and added brewed coffee in here. Yup, I wanted to enhance the espresso even more. . and also bring out the chocolate in these brownies. And then, to make these brownies even more chocolatey, I added bittersweet chocolate chips into the brownie mix.
Ah-ma-zing. Best. Decision. Ever.
Now, because of this shot, which I took with my iPhone, my photoshoot ended promptly. Because after I took this shot, I couldn’t help myself. I ate this brownie and then proceeded to eat another one.
Soooooo good you guys.
You just have to bake these brownies.
Triple Threat Brownies + A Giveaway!
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee slightly cooled
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1⅓ cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1/2 cup White Chocolate Wonderful Peanut Butter & Co. peanut butter slightly melted
- 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease or spray a 9 x 13 baking pan. Set aside.
- Using a large, heat-safe bowl placed on top of a pan of simmering water, melt the butter completely. Turn off and remove from the heat and mix in the cocoa and then the espresso powder until fully combined. Pour in the coffee and sugar and continue to stir until combined and smooth. Add in the eggs and vanilla and mix until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt and then, pour the flour/dry mixture, slowly in three batches, into the wet mixture, mixing well after each addition until smooth. Pour in the slightly melted peanut butter and just swirl in. You still want to see some streaks of peanut butter. Then, pour in the chocolate chips and mix slightly.
- Pour the brownie batter into prepared baking pan and bake for about 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy!

Good luck and make these brownies!

I love my brownies chewy!
I like my brownies fudgey.
I like them chewy but I have to have a corner piece!
This is everything you could want I. A brownie. It has peanut butter in it too? Genius!
These brownies look perfect! Love the melted chocolate bits in the center!!
PB and coffee go SO well together, especially in a brownie. These look amazing!
Oooooh, so gooey. I’m a sucker for peanut butter and chocolate; these babies look like they’re undeniably delicious. I need them in my life!
I definitely like cakier brownies, more on the moist side, and not stick-to-your-teeth fudgey.
My personal fav is homemade in-between brownies from the King Arthur Flour Cookie Companion. Fudgy/gooey but still w/ a bit of crumbly lightness. But I don’t turn away from Betty Crocker or Ghiridelli Ultimate boxes either. They both make a fantastic brownie. And love the chunks of chocolate from chips or kisses or oreos or thin mints or…
These brownies look and sound SO divine! So chocolatey and tasty!
My mouth is watering! I’ve been putting coffee in my brownies for a while, but adding the peanut butter sounds awesome! I can’t wait to try these.
Triple threat is a great way to describe these! Yes yes yes! Just how I like them 🙂 Highly approve the addition of espresso. Really makes a difference!
I like my brownies with walnuts in them or with peanut butter flavor.
Oh wow, Alice! These brownies sound AMAZING! I’m loving the chocolate, peanut butter, and coffee combo. How amazing is that?! I could totally go for a few of these cuties for breakfast right now!
I feel like it should be a life rule to ONLY eat triple threat when it comes to brownies. These look fabulous!
Forget threatened, these brownies might as well be on the endangered list if they were in our kitchen! They wouldn’t last a day! I’m more of a cake brownie lover myself, but a good gooey brownie is still tasty…especially when it’s served over a bowl of ice cream!
Oh. My. GAH. Alice!! I don’t even have the words for how amazing these brownies look. All that ultra-fudginess is pulling me in! I can’t resist. I neeeeeeeed to try these asap! Problem is, I don’t think I’d be able to share. 😉 Best problem ever.
Pinned and sharing on FB!
Definitely going to try this recipe!!

Whoa – triple threat, you’ve got that right! These look like the most decadent delicious brownies I can imagine. Yum!!!
I love my brownies, soft, chewy, and moist! I do not like nuts, but peanut butter, fudge, or marshmallows are always welcome.
White chocolate peanut butter? WOW. That has to make these brownies extra something special, and espresso powder is always a favorite of mine with chocolate! I just want to dive into that pan!
I love brownies that are slightly fudgy with crispy edges and filled with dark chocolate chunks!!
