Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 40 min
Ingredients: 2/3 cup all-purpose flour; 1/4 teaspoon baking soda; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/2 cup granulated sugar; 3 tablespoons unsalted butter; 2 tablespoons whole milk; 2 1/2 cups milk chocolate morsels (divided); 2 large eggs; 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract; Optional: vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce (for serving)

Made with milk chocolate chips, sugar, flour, eggs, butter, and vanilla, Snoop Dogg’s Bow Wow Brownies are gooey, rich, and ready in 40 minutes.

Okay, so I didn’t literally bake brownies with Snoop. But spiritually? Emotionally? I felt like we connected.

It was one of those rainy afternoons where your to-do list gives up on you before you even start it. My kid had just spilled apple juice all over the couch, my inbox was a war zone, and I was this close to ordering takeout and crawling under a blanket. But instead, I remembered I’d bookmarked a brownie recipe from Snoop Dogg’s cookbook. And something about the chaos made that feel… right.

I tied my hair up, blasted some ‘90s rap (because obviously), and got to baking. And I’m not being dramatic when I say this: these brownies changed the mood of the entire house. One bite in, we were all vibing. Even the dog looked calmer.

Why You’ll Love This Snoop Dogg’s Bow Wow Brownies Recipe?

You know how some brownie recipes make you feel like you need a degree in pastry science? This isn’t that. Snoop Dogg’s Bow Wow Brownies are unapologetically simple. No double boilers. No fancy ingredients. Just real, feel-good baking that hits the spot.

What I love most? They lean into milk chocolate instead of dark, which gives them this sweet, almost nostalgic flavor—like the brownies your aunt used to make at family parties, but way cooler. Plus, they bake up with these perfect, slightly gooey centers and a crackly top that looks straight out of a bakery window.

And you get to tell people, “Oh, these? Snoop Dogg’s recipe.” Instant respect.

Ingredient Notes:

Before you sprint to the kitchen (which is valid), let’s break down what you’ll need and why it works.

All-purpose flour – Nothing fancy here. Just regular flour doing what it does best. Keep it simple.
Baking soda – Just a pinch gives the brownies a soft rise. We’re not going for cake, just a little lift.
Salt – Do not skip this. It balances the sweet and makes the chocolate pop.
Granulated sugar – Pure and simple. White sugar gives these that signature shiny top.
Unsalted butter – Adds richness without overdoing it. If you only have salted, maybe ease back on the extra salt.
Whole milk – Adds moisture. And hey, whole milk is what gives it that classic taste. You could sub in oat milk, but I haven’t tried it yet.
Milk chocolate chips – This is where the magic happens. Half goes into the batter, half gets sprinkled on top. Sweet, melty bliss.
Eggs – Just two, but they do the heavy lifting. Binding, richness, structure—eggs are the quiet MVP here.
Pure vanilla extract – Don’t reach for the imitation stuff. Real vanilla brings warmth and depth. Trust me.
Vanilla ice cream + chocolate sauce – Not technically required, but c’mon. You know you want the full experience.

How To Make Snoop Dogg’s Bow Wow Brownies?

I’m not gonna lie—I didn’t expect this to be as easy as it was. But it’s so chill you could probably make it while half-listening to a podcast and still come out a baking legend.

Step 1: Get that oven hot.
Preheat to 325°F. Middle rack. Butter up an 8×8 pan like you mean it. If you forget, you’ll be scraping brownie bits out with a fork and calling it “rustic.” (Been there.)

Step 2: Dry stuff, mix it up.
Grab a small bowl. Whisk together your flour, baking soda, and salt. Boom. Set aside. That was painless.

Step 3: Time to melt and stir.
In a saucepan, heat the sugar, butter, and milk. Once it’s bubbling slightly, pull it off the burner and stir in 1½ cups of those chocolate chips. It melts into this glossy, chocolate lava situation. Hard not to just eat it with a spoon.

Step 4: Eggs and vanilla, baby.
Stir in the eggs and vanilla until the mixture is smooth and kind of dreamy. Now it’s time to fold in your dry ingredients. Don’t overmix—just enough to bring it all together.

Step 5: Batter up.
Pour the batter into your prepped pan. It’s thick, so smooth it out gently. Then top it with the rest of the chocolate chips. If some “accidentally” fall into your mouth, we’re not judging.

Step 6: Bake it like it’s hot.
Pop the pan in for 25 to 30 minutes. Rotate halfway through if your oven runs hotter on one side (mine totally does). You want it set around the edges, still a little soft in the middle.

Step 7: Cool… or don’t.
Let them cool on a rack. Or slice into them warm and serve with ice cream dripping down the sides like you’re starring in your own dessert commercial. It’s all fair game.

Storage Options:

These brownies somehow taste even better the next day. Store them in an airtight container on the counter for 2–3 days. You can also freeze them individually (wrapped in wax paper, then foil). Just microwave for 20–25 seconds to revive them into gooey perfection.

Variations and Substitutions:

I know, I know—Snoop nailed the original. But if you’re feeling experimental (or just out of ingredients), here’s what’s worked for me:

Semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips – A little less sweet, a little more rich. Totally works.
Add chopped pecans or walnuts – A nice crunch that feels kinda fancy.
Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top – Trust me. That salty-sweet thing? A vibe.
Brown the butter first – Next level. Nutty and rich.
A dash of cinnamon or espresso powder – Adds depth without changing the game too much.

What to Serve with Snoop Dogg’s Bow Wow Brownies?

Besides literally everything?

Cold milk – Classic. Iconic. No notes.
Vanilla bean ice cream – Melty. Dreamy. Essential.
Coffee or espresso – For grown-up brownie moments.
Strawberries or raspberries – Adds a little fresh pop, and hey—it looks fancy too.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Are they really that good?
Yes. I didn’t expect to be this impressed, but here we are. They’re sweet, soft, slightly chewy, and crazy addictive.

Can I make these gluten-free?
Yep! Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend like Bob’s Red Mill. No need to adjust anything else.

Can I double the batch?
Oh, for sure. Use a 9×13 pan and extend baking time by 5–8 minutes. Don’t forget to rotate that pan!

If you’re still here reading, I’ll take that as a sign you’re either halfway to the kitchen or texting a friend, “Guess what I’m making tonight?” Either way, I hope you give these Snoop Dogg’s Bow Wow Brownies a go.

And when you do, drop a comment or send a pic—especially if you made any wild swaps or served them with ice cream and hot fudge like the brownie rockstar you are.

Seriously, I can’t wait to hear what you think.
