Brownies are good on their own, but when you combine that rich, fudgy base with the fresh, juicy burst of chocolate-covered strawberries? Well, that’s when something truly special happens. These brownies studded with chocolate chips are the perfect home for these gorgeous, chocolate-drizzled berries.

How to Make Fudgy Brownies from Scratch

I adore fudgy brownies but also like them to have a touch of cakey texture around the edges for that perfect chew. This recipe strikes that balance beautifully—soft in the middle with just enough structure to hold up nicely.

Instead of melted chocolate, I start with cocoa powder to build the dry ingredients, then fold in melty chocolate chips or chunks to add an extra wave of chocolaty goodness that makes these brownies just irresistible.

The final texture is just dreamy—a chewy brownie that’s sturdily cakey enough to support a juicy strawberry topping but tender enough to slice without any fuss and melt-in-your-mouth with every bite.

How to Line a Pan for Brownies

Even the best recipes can trip us up if we don’t prep correctly, and one of the biggest game changers for brownie success is knowing how to line your pan just right.

Here’s a quick and easy way to line your pan so your brownies come out perfectly every time—no sticky mess, just clean edges and easy removal:

  • Spray: Start by coating your pan with a light layer of cooking spray or rub it with butter so the parchment paper can stick well.
  • Measure: Cut the parchment paper so it fits snugly inside the pan with two extra flaps hanging over opposite sides—these little handles make it super easy to lift the brownies out later.
  • Spray Again: Give the parchment paper itself a quick spray, along with any exposed edges of the pan not covered, to keep things truly non-stick.

With your brownies baking up perfectly and lifting cleanly from the pan, it’s time to focus on that star topping—chocolate-covered strawberries like you’ve never seen before.

Instead of dunking whole strawberries in melted chocolate (though that’s a classic move), I like to quarter the berries and then drizzle the chocolate over them. It’s easier to slice, share, and enjoy without any mess.
