Okay, full honesty—when I first saw that Snoop Dogg had a cookbook, I thought it was just a fun novelty thing. You know, like, “Oh look, the rapper made a cookbook.” But then I actually made something from it, and… yeah. I was wrong. So wrong.
These brownies? They’re not just good. They’re next-level chocolatey, like fudge and cake had a baby and that baby had zero chill. And the best part? You don’t need anything fancy. I made these in my old scratched-up saucepan with a wooden spoon that’s seen better days, and they still turned out like something you’d pay $6 for at one of those hip dessert bars.
So what makes ’em so special?
Well, first off—they use real melted chocolate, not just cocoa powder. Like, the kind that gets stuck to the spoon and makes you want to “test” the batter… four times.
Then there’s the super simple base—you basically just melt, stir, and bake. No mixer. No fancy flour. I’ve made these while half-watching an episode of The Great British Bake Off and yelling at my kid to stop eating the chocolate chips straight from the bag. (He did not stop.)
And okay, fine—maybe I scooped a little too much batter into the pan and maybe I didn’t wait for them to cool before cutting one. Regret nothing.
Here’s what you need (it’s not a long list, I promise)
Dry-ish stuff:
-
⅔ cup flour
-
¼ teaspoon baking soda
-
½ teaspoon salt
Melty stuff:
-
½ cup sugar
-
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
-
2 tablespoons milk
-
2½ cups milk chocolate chips (not semi-sweet—Snoop says milk, and I listen)
Eggy stuff:
-
2 eggs
-
½ teaspoon vanilla
To make it magical:
-
Vanilla ice cream
-
Chocolate sauce
(Not required, but highly, highly recommended)
How to actually make them
1. Preheat your oven
Set it to 325°F. I know that sounds low for brownies, but trust the process. Grease an 8×8 pan with butter or spray, or line it with parchment if you’re feeling fancy (I usually just butter it and hope for the best).
2. Mix the dry stuff
In a little bowl, stir together your flour, baking soda, and salt. Nothing wild here—just mix it up and set it aside. You’ll need it in a sec.
3. Melt the good stuff
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, stir together your sugar, butter, and milk. Let it come to a boil—don’t walk away! The second it starts bubbling, pull it off the heat. Stir in 1½ cups of the chocolate chips while it’s still hot. They’ll melt right into it and make a glorious glossy mess. Breathe it in. This is the good part.
4. Stir in eggs and vanilla
Once your chocolate mix has cooled just a bit (you don’t want scrambled eggs), stir in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla. Take your time. The batter will get thicker and shinier. It’s a whole vibe.
5. Add the dry mix
Gradually stir in the flour mixture from earlier. Don’t dump it all at once—just mix until it’s barely combined. Overmixing = sad, dense brownies. We want fudge-like, not brick-like.
6. Pour it in & top with more chocolate
Pour the batter into your pan and smooth it out. Sprinkle the rest of the chocolate chips on top (the other 1 cup). This is where things get real.
7. Bake
Pop it in the oven for 25–30 minutes. Halfway through, turn the pan around so it bakes evenly (old oven problems, you know?). When a toothpick in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, it’s ready.
Let them cool in the pan on a wire rack. I mean, you can cut them early, but they’ll fall apart a little. That never stops me, though.
Serving thoughts (aka excuses to add ice cream)
Serve warm. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, drizzle some chocolate sauce, and if you’re feeling extra—whipped cream. Or just eat them straight from the pan with a fork. I’ve done both. On the same night.
These brownies are soft, rich, melty, and honestly kind of sexy? Is that weird to say about dessert? I don’t care. It’s true.
Leftovers?
LOL.
Just in case:
-
Keep ‘em covered on the counter for 2–3 days (they’ll be gone by then).
-
You can freeze them, but I never have. You probably won’t either.
Final note from a slightly chocolate-stained baker:
These brownies are easy. Comforting. A little indulgent. And they make your kitchen smell like you know what you’re doing, even if you’re winging it between loads of laundry and reheating leftover chicken nuggets.
I didn’t expect to fall in love with a brownie recipe from Snoop Dogg, but here we are.
So go ahead. Turn up the music, preheat the oven, and bake something that’ll make you feel good all over.
And hey—if you try ‘em, come back and tell me. Or don’t. But definitely make them.
