Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1 box (18–20 oz) brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box, usually eggs, oil, and water)

Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter (for melting chocolate)

Optional Decoration

  • 1/4 cup white chocolate chips (for drizzling)


Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×9-inch baking pan by spraying it with nonstick spray or lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix and Bake Brownies: Prepare the brownie batter according to the package instructions, incorporating the eggs, oil, and water as directed. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Cool Brownies: Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan; this ensures they set properly for clean slicing.
  4. Prepare for Dipping Strawberries: While the brownies are cooling, line a baking sheet with parchment paper to place the dipped strawberries on.
  5. Melt Chocolate for Dipping: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips with the coconut oil or butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well between each interval until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
  6. Dip Strawberries: Dip the cut side of each strawberry half into the melted chocolate, coating it generously. Place the dipped strawberries on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Chill Strawberries: Refrigerate the dipped strawberries on the baking sheet until the chocolate is set and firm, about 15-20 minutes.
  8. Slice Brownies: Once the brownies are completely cooled, remove them from the pan and cut into 16 even squares.
  9. Assemble: Top each brownie square with one chocolate-dipped strawberry, placing the strawberry chocolate side up for an elegant presentation.
  10. Optional Decoration: If desired, melt white chocolate chips and drizzle over the strawberries for a decorative and contrasting finish.
  11. Serve: Serve immediately for the freshest taste or chill until ready to serve. These brownies are best enjoyed within a day or two for optimal freshness.

Notes

  • For extra decadence, spread a thin layer of ganache or melted chocolate over the brownies before placing the strawberries on top.
  • Use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet for a richer, more intense chocolate flavor.
  • Swap the brownies with blondies as a tasty alternative base.
