What you Need to Make Valentine’s Day Brownies from scratch:

(Full recipe with exact measurements, at the end of this post)

I know a lot of people prefer to use box mixes when it comes to certain things and I can totally understand that. But when it comes to these brownies, they’re just as easy as any box mix and taste just as good. To make these strawberry brownies from scratch, you’ll need:

• Butter, melted and slightly cooled
• Sugar
• Eggs
• Vanilla extract
• All-purpose flour
• Cocoa powder, unsweetened
• Salt
• Fresh strawberries-sliced and cut into heart shapes
• Chocolate chips- semi-sweet

How to Make Strawberry Chocolate Brownies: 

A great thing about this brownies topped with strawberry recipe, is that it’s also an easy one bowl recipe.  Just mix everything up in one bowl, pour it into the pan, top with chocolate chips and strawberry hearts and pop it into the oven.

• Adjust the oven rack to the lower third position and preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper (making sure to leave some overhang), spray generously with non-stick baking spray and set aside.
• In a large bowl, add the melted butter, melted chocolate and granulated sugar and whisk together until well combined. Add in the eggs and vanilla and whisk some more until fully combined.
• Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Using a rubber spoon, fold until just combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and top with strawberry hearts and garnish with chocolate chip without covering the hearts.
• Bake at 350°F for 25-27 minutes. Mine were perfect at 25 minutes
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before slicing.

The hardest part of making these chocolate covered strawberry brownies? is waiting for them to cool before you slice into them.

So worth the wait, though!

Tips for Baking the Best Chocolate Brownies: 

• Do not over mix your brownie batter after adding the flour. 
• Do not over bake them either. Mine were done at exactly 25 minutes in a 9×9-inch pan. Each oven is different. But remember, they will continue to bake slightly in the hot pan once pulled out of the oven.
• Line your baking pan with greased parchment paper and let it overhang on both sides a little, so you can easily pull them out of the pan. 
• Let your Brownies rest for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour before cutting.
