You need: - 1 cup unsalted butter, melted - 1 ½ cups granulated sugar - 1 cup brown sugar, packed - 4 large eggs - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 cup all-purpose flour - ½ cup cocoa powder - 1 teaspoon baking powder - ½ teaspoon salt - 1 cup dark chocolate chips - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced - 1 cup milk chocolate chips (for drizzling) Measure each ingredient carefully. This makes sure your brownies turn out great. Prepare your baking pan by greasing it. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) so it's hot and ready. In a large bowl, mix the melted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar. Stir until it's smooth. Add in the eggs one at a time. Mix well after each egg. Then, stir in the vanilla extract. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix this dry mix into the wet mix. Stir until it just comes together. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the dark chocolate chips gently. Pour half of the brownie batter into your greased pan and spread it evenly. Layer the sliced strawberries on top of the batter. Make sure they are spread out well. Now, pour the other half of the brownie batter over the strawberries. Cover them completely. Bake in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the middle. It should come out with a few moist crumbs. After baking, let the brownies cool for about 15 minutes in the pan. For the drizzle, melt your milk chocolate chips. Use a microwave-safe bowl and heat it in 30-second bursts, stirring in between. Once melted, drizzle it over the brownies in a zigzag pattern. Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting them into squares. For the full recipe, refer to the earlier section. To get the best brownie texture, you want them fudgy, not dry. Start by mixing your wet ingredients well. The melted butter and sugars need to blend smoothly. Adding eggs one by one gives a nice, rich base. When you mix in the dry ingredients, do it gently. Overmixing can make them tough. Pull them out of the oven when a toothpick shows a few moist crumbs. This keeps them soft and chewy. Melting chocolate can be tricky, but I have some simple tips. Use a microwave-safe bowl for chocolate chips. Heat in short bursts of 30 seconds. Stir after each burst to avoid burning. If you prefer, you can use a double boiler. Just make sure the bowl does not touch the water. Stirring often will help keep the chocolate smooth. Once melted, use it right away for drizzling. Presentation matters! Serve your brownies on a nice platter. You can add extra strawberry slices on the side. A sprinkle of powdered sugar gives a nice touch. For an added layer of flavor, serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. You can even add a drizzle of caramel for a sweet surprise. These small details make your brownies stand out. For the full recipe, check out the details above. {{image_2}} You can enhance your brownies by adding nuts or other fruits. Chopped walnuts or pecans pair well with chocolate. They add a nice crunch and rich flavor. You can also use dried fruits, like cherries or blueberries. These fruits bring a burst of sweetness and extra moisture. Just chop them up and mix them in with the dark chocolate chips. This adds texture and makes your brownies even more special. If you need a gluten-free option, you can easily swap the flour. Use a gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour. Make sure it has a good binding agent, like xanthan gum, to help with texture. The rest of the recipe stays the same. You’ll get rich, fudgy brownies that everyone can enjoy. This way, no one has to miss out on this decadent treat! The chocolate drizzle can change with your taste. While I love using milk chocolate, dark chocolate works great too. You can even mix in some white chocolate for a sweet twist. Try adding a pinch of sea salt on top for a salty contrast. For a fun flavor, mix in a bit of orange zest or mint extract into the melted chocolate. These small changes can make a big impact on your brownies.

Enjoying a brownie that tastes fresh is always a delight! Yes, you can use frozen strawberries. Just thaw and drain them well. This step helps avoid extra moisture in your brownies. Frozen strawberries can lose some texture but still taste great. They add a nice fruity flavor to the brownies. The best way to check if the brownies are done is to use a toothpick. Insert it into the center of the brownies. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they are ready. If the toothpick is clean, the brownies might be overcooked.

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

          Fold in the dark chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the brownie batter.

            Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.

              Layer the sliced strawberries over the batter, evenly distributing them across the surface.

                Pour the remaining brownie batter over the strawberries, ensuring they are covered completely.

                  Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

                    Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 15 minutes.

                      For the chocolate drizzle, melt the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
