Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 20 fresh strawberries, washed and dried thoroughly
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped baking chocolate
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • Optional garnishes: chopped nuts (pistachios or almonds), sea salt flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, letting some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until glossy and combined, about 1-2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.
  4. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture with a spatula until just combined. Batter should be thick and fudgy.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  6. Cool brownies completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Melt chocolate chips and optional coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, melt in a double boiler.
  8. Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into melted chocolate, coating about two-thirds of the berry. Let excess chocolate drip off and place on parchment-lined plate.
  9. Cut cooled brownies into 1.5-inch (4 cm) bite-sized squares.
  10. Press a chocolate-covered strawberry onto each brownie square. Sprinkle chopped nuts or sea salt flakes if desired.
  11. Chill assembled brownie bites in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes until chocolate sets before serving.

Notes

Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to help chocolate stick. Melt chocolate in short bursts and stir to avoid burning. Cool brownies fully before assembling to prevent chocolate from sliding off. Optional garnishes add texture and flavor contrast.
