Chocolate Syrup Brownies
Chocolate Syrup Brownies are rich, moist, smooth and amazing! Just when you thought homemade brownies couldn’t get any better try making them with chocolate syrup! Another similar recipe is our Triple Chocolate Fudge Cake with hot fudge syrup.
I can’t get over how smooth these brownies are. Smooth and rich like the chocolate syrup that is a main ingredient. Mixed with other common ingredients these brownies are SO easy to make at home and have a bakery-quality taste.
This recipe makes a good bit of batter, so when poured in a 9×13 baking pan they are thick. Topped with chocolate glaze or icing just like our rich Texas Brownies, they can be cut into very small pieces and still satisfy your chocolate craving.
We are a chocolate loving family! Our Best Rich & Moist Chocolate Cake is always requested at birthday parties. My mom’s Big Batch of Brownies and these Gooey Marshmallow Brownies are all rich with chocolate and popular at potlucks and parties.
Growing up I was active in 4-H. As an older teenager, I was on the Food and Fashion Board. One of our activities was compiling a cookbook of recipes from active 4-H families. This recipe came from another farm family via the cookbook we compiled in the mid-90s.
Chocolate Syrup Instead of Cocoa Powder
We’ve always got chocolate syrup in our refrigerator because half of our family loves making their own chocolate milk. As a chocolate connoisseur, I love the idea of using chocolate syrup instead of cocoa powder to put a twist on basic brownies.
We were trying to guess how much syrup is in a Hershey’s bottle. We’d say between 1 1/2 and 2 cups. You definitely want to start with a new bottle of syrup when making this recipe.
Pouring the chocolate syrup into the batter just makes your mouth water!

Is there really supposed to be 1.5 cups of butter?
Good question. Yes! That’s how much we use when we make this recipe.
I calls for 4 eggs but no mention in the instructions
Hey! Thanks so much for checking out the recipe! I just fixed the instructions to say that eggs should be creamed in with the sugar. Thanks for letting me know!
All purpose flour? It doesn’t specify in the recipe!
Yes! I’ll be sure to specify that now. Thanks for asking!
can i use Nesquik chocolate syrup instead of Hershey’s?
Great question! I’m not sure if there’s a difference in the consistency of chocolate syrup among different brands or not. I’m sure you could make a substitution, but I’m not sure if the quantity would be the same. Please let me know if you give it a try how it turns out!
