• Preheat oven and prepare the brownie mix according to package directions in an 8x8-inch baking dish.
• Bake and allow brownies to cool completely.
• Remove strawberry stems and slice them in half lengthwise.
• Arrange strawberries in a single layer over the cooled brownies, cut side down for stability.

Prepare the Ganache

• In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and heavy cream.
• Microwave for 25 seconds, then stir slowly.
• Microwave again for 20 seconds and stir thoroughly for at least 20 seconds.
• If needed, heat in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth, dark, and glossy.

Finish

• Pour the chocolate ganache evenly over the strawberries, covering them completely.
• Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes until the ganache sets and firms up.
• Slice and serve within 24 hours for best texture.
• Chocolate Covered Strawberry Brownies are best enjoyed fresh, as strawberries naturally release moisture over time.
