Let’s talk brownies. Dark chocolate brownies. Brownies do not last long in my house. While I love cake and cookies and pies, there is something about brownies, they are all to easy to sneak a bite of every time you walk through the kitchen. Many pans of brownies in my house have disappeared at an alarming rate, often straight from the pan, with a fork (keeping it real here!).
What’s not to love about all that chocolate??? These delicious brownies are full of dark chocolate, thanks to the addition of DOVE Dark Chocolate Promises both in the brownies and drizzled on top of the brownies. I’ve had some fun developing a few recipes using DOVE Dark Chocolate Promises this summer, and this might be one of my favorites!
This homemade brownie recipe is very simple to make, honestly it’s all of one or two steps more than making brownies from a box mix.
You can whip up these brownies in one bowl, and the only melting you have to do is for the chocolate drizzle on top, which I do in my microwave, right in the bag I use for piping. I’m all about keeping it simple.

Dark Chocolate Brownie Recipe
Dark Chocolate Brownies
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup cocoa powder (I like to use dark cocoa, but regular is fine)
- 1 and 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup yogurt (vanilla or coffee flavored work well)
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 tbsp brewed coffee or water (make sure it has cooled slightly, warm is okay, but you do not want it hot)
- 1 9.50 oz bag Dove Dark Chocolate Silky Smooth Promises - unwrapped and divided, about 2/3 of the bag chopped and 1/3 of the bag unwrapped and set aside.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, combine cocoa, both sugars, salt, flour and chopped Dove Dark Chocolate Promises (about 2/3 of the bag). Add in yogurt, eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla and coffee (or water). Stir until just combined, do not over mix.
- Scoop batter into an 8x8 or 9x9 pan that has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray. I prefer to line my pan with foil, then spray the foil, as this makes it easy to remove the brownies from the pan, slice and serve.
- Bake for approximately 35 minutes for an 9x9" pan or 45 minutes for an 8x8" pan. To check if they are done, place a knife or toothpick into the center. When you pull it out, it should still be a little moist, but starting to bake up.
- Remove from oven an allow to cool in pan for at least 20 minutes.
- When ready to serve, place remaining Dove Dark Chocolate Promises into the bottom of a zipper style sandwich bag. Place in microwave and microwave on 50% power for 30 seconds. Remove from microwave, and "knead" chocolate in bag (even if melted it may hold it's shape until you do this). If more melting time is needed, return to microwave and heat for another 15 seconds on 50% power. Repeat this process until chocolate is melted in bag. Slice brownies into into individual pieces, and place on serving plates. Clip off a bottom corner edge of the bag (only about 1/4" wide at most) and drizzle melted chocolate over the top of brownies.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
- Note: Melted chocolate does not return to a solid state at room temperature, so it's best to add melted chocolate just prior to serving.
