FAQs

What makes Chocolate Covered Strawberry Brownies special?

These brownies combine the richness of fudge and the brightness of strawberries with a smooth chocolate top—just like a chocolate-covered strawberry in brownie form.

Can I use frozen strawberries?

Fresh is best, but thawed and drained frozen strawberries can work in a pinch.

Can I skip the ganache topping?

You can, but it really completes the “chocolate covered” feel. Optional but recommended!

Can I double the recipe?

Absolutely—just use a 9×13-inch pan and bake a little longer.

How long do they last?

Up to 3 days in the fridge. The strawberries keep things moist, so don’t wait too long to enjoy them!
