# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar together until smooth and glossy. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.

Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.

Pour batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
06 -
Let brownies cool completely in the pan.
07 -
Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat and add chopped semisweet chocolate, stirring until smooth.
08 -
Dip each strawberry slice into the melted chocolate and place on a parchment-lined plate to set.
09 -
Once brownies are cooled, cut into squares and top each with a chocolate-covered strawberry slice.
# Notes:
01 -
For best results, use room temperature eggs to ensure proper incorporation into the batter.
02 -
Allow chocolate coating to cool slightly before dipping strawberries for a thicker coating.
