Chocolate Raspberry Brownies Recipe (1)

I’ve been on a bit of a brownie kick lately. What can I say? The baby just craves them.

I love our Chocolate Thin Mint Brownies, but thought I would change it up a little by making the middle layer raspberry. They just might be my new favorite brownie.

They are so rich and creamy, and full of delicious flavor. They are also extremely easy to make. They may look intimidating, but the recipe calls for simple and inexpensive ingredients.

They take a minute to set up, between each layer, so this recipe is made best ahead of time, so you can have it completely ready, by the time you serve it.

Why do the layers need to cool?

Brownies take a little time to cool, which is fine if you aren’t putting anything on them, but maybe some ice cream.

However, if you are layering your brownies, it’s important to let them cool, so the layers you are adding on top, don’t melt and stay stable.

Even if our brownies are the slightest bit warm, they will melt your layers, and will ruin the texture of your brownies.

We definitely recommend refrigerating or freezing them, for best results.

How to get a clean cut brownie:

There are three things to know to get a perfectly clean-cut brownie.

  1. Cool your brownies completely before cutting (chilled in the refrigerator is even better!).
  2. Use a sharp knife. A lot of problems in the kitchen can be solved by using a really good knife.
  3. Run your knife under warm-hot water before cutting.
  4. Wipe your knife on a paper towel, or cutting board edge, after each cut if frosting has accumulated.
  5. You may need to re-heat your knife in the hot water throughout the cutting process, for best results.

    Yum! I hadn't thought of using raspberry jam! (I have tons of raspberry bushes and this would be a yummy treat for all those berries!) I've made raspberry frosting with raspberry extract before...have you ever tried the extract?

  2. Cheryl at Snaps of Ginger says:

    Raspberry buttercream and chocolate. I'm dreaming of it now....~Cheryl

  3. LuAnn says:

    These look wonderful. Just caught a small editing error though. "Spread in a greased 12x17-inch cooking sheet for 25-30 minutes." Shouldn't this be "...cooking sheet. BAKE for 25 - 30..."?

  4. Cyd says:

    Thanks for catching that LuAnn...we'll correct it!

  5. Emily at AllFreeCasseroleRecipes says:

    I love the combination of chocolate and raspberry - it's so elegant! Great job amping up the flavor profile of something traditional like brownies. I could definitely see these being a hit at a party.

  6. Veronica says:

    hi...love this recipe...and eager to make. BUT, can i use a different pan? Otherwise, gotta go out and buy this pan :( How can you help with this problem?Much thanks,Veronica

  7. Cyd says:

    It's basically cookie sheet size.

  8. Lynette says:

    How do you store these? Do they have to stay frozen or just cool?

  9. Cyd says:

    You can store them in an airtight container. Put them in the refrigerator if they don't get eaten soon!

  10. Lavon says:

    I hope I can get a quick answer...How deep is the pan. Just a half sheet or does this require a 2" deep pan? Plan on taking to church supper tomorrow. Thanks

  11. Cyd says:

    We just used the half sheet pan that is like a cookie sheet. About 1 inch deep.

  12. Molly Ainger says:

    Help! I clicked on the recipe for chocolate raspberry brownies and it takes me to a recipe for parfaits!! Can you please help me find the brownie recipe for the brownies in the photo?

  13. Momma Cyd says:
