Ingredients
  

For the brownies

  • 1 box Brownie mix (follow package instructions)
  • ½ cup Butter (amount as specified on brownie mix)
  • 2 large Eggs (amount as specified on brownie mix) Flax eggs can be used for vegan option.
  • ½ cup Chocolate chips Optional for brownies

For the chocolate-covered strawberries

  • 1 pound Fresh strawberries
  • 8 ounces Chocolate for melting Dairy-free chocolate can be used.
  • ¼ cup Sprinkles or nuts Optional for decoration

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Gather all ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking tray by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  • Prepare the brownie mix according to package instructions, which typically require melted butter, eggs, and water. Stir until fully combined. If desired, fold in chocolate chips.

Baking

  • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking tray and spread evenly. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Once baked, let brownies cool in the tray for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • After cooling, cut the brownies into bite-sized pieces.

Chocolate-Covered Strawberries

  • While the brownies cool, melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in short increments of 30 seconds, stirring in between until smooth.
  • Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries. Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, coating fully, and shake off excess chocolate. Place on a parchment-lined tray to set.
  • Allow the chocolate to harden for about 30 minutes.

Assembly

  • Carefully layer the brownie bites and chocolate-covered strawberries in a beautiful box or container.
  • For an extra touch, sprinkle colorful sprinkles or chopped nuts on the strawberries.
  • Add a personalized note or card to enhance the gift.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate if using chocolate-covered strawberries. Consume within three days for best flavor.
