Ingredients :

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs (room temperature)
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 cup fresh strawberries (sliced)
1/2 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Directions :

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix melted butter, sugar, and cocoa powder until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gradually incorporate flour until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
Allow brownies to cool completely before topping with sliced strawberries.
Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in increments of 30 seconds until smooth. Drizzle over the strawberries.
Refrigerate for about an hour before slicing into squares.

how to serve Chocolate Covered Strawberry Brownies

Cut into squares and serve cold or at room temp. Add a few whole berries on the side. A small dollop of cream makes each bite soft. For a deeper chocolate hit, you can pair with double chocolate ideas like this.

how to store Chocolate Covered Strawberry Brownies

Keep in a covered box or container. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you keep them at room temp, eat within one day to keep the berries fresh. You can freeze plain brownies (no fruit) for up to 2 months and add fresh strawberries after thaw.

tips to make Chocolate Covered Strawberry Brownies

variation (if any)

Add chopped nuts to the batter for crunch.
Use raspberries instead of strawberries.
Sprinkle sea salt over the chocolate for a sweet and salty note.
