Ingredients
Brownie Base
- 1 (18 oz) box brownie mix (prepared according to box instructions)
Toppings
- 2 cups chopped strawberries
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare Brownies: Prepare your brownies according to the instructions on the box, ensuring you follow all steps for mixing and baking. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely to room temperature to ensure the topping adheres properly.
- Add Strawberries: Wash, dry thoroughly, and chop your strawberries into bite-sized pieces. Spread them evenly over the cooled brownies, distributing them so each bite will have some fresh fruit.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips with the vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth in texture.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Transfer the melted chocolate into a small ziplock bag, snip off one corner to create a piping tip, then carefully drizzle the chocolate over the strawberry layer in a decorative pattern.
- Set and Serve: Place the brownies in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the chocolate drizzle to set firmly. Once set, slice the brownies into 16 squares and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Make sure the brownies are completely cooled before adding strawberries and chocolate to prevent melting or sliding.
- Use fresh, firm strawberries for the best texture and flavor contrast with the brownies.
- Vegetable oil helps create a smooth, glossy chocolate drizzle, but you can substitute with coconut oil if preferred.
- Storing brownies in the refrigerator after preparation will keep the chocolate drizzle firm.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the chocolate drizzle before setting.
