Chocolate Covered Strawberry Brownies are a rich and decadent dessert made with fresh strawberries that are sandwiched between layers of fudgy brownies and chocolate ganache.

This quick and easy recipe combines two delicious sweet treats into the best single batch–it’s a 2-for-1 indulgence in every bite.

I’ve made it so simple to make this masterpiece because my brownie base uses a box mix to save on time, and then piles the baked batch high with fresh, juicy strawberries.

These brownies are more fudge-like than cake-like, packed with tons of chocolate, and have a fruity burst of flavor in every deliciously decadent bite.

Ingredients

• Box brownie mix: I used the Duncan Hines brand of brownie mix, but if you prefer to make homemade brownies, feel free to do so.
• Box chocolate pudding mix 
• Whole milk: You can replace this with half and half or water in the brownie mix, but for the chocolate chips, make sure not to use any water or the chocolate will seize. Feel free to use half and half for the ganache.
• Vegetable oil
• Eggs
• Fresh strawberries: Make sure to use fresh strawberries instead of frozen.
• Semi-sweet baking chocolate bars: You should be able to use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips for this, but the chocolate bar will give you the best texture.
• Salted butter: If you use unsalted butter, make sure to add an extra pinch of salt.

Substitutions and Additions

Fresh Fruit: While I love the pairing of strawberries and chocolate, you can use fresh raspberries or blackberries instead if you prefer a different fruit flavor.
Brownie Base: You can use any brand of brownie mix that you prefer and any flavor variation for the brownie base. Some of the flavor options include fudge, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or triple fudge.
Choose Your Chocolate: Feel free to experiment with dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or semisweet chocolate for the ganache topping in this recipe
