Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and position the rack in the center position for even baking.
- Generously coat a 9×13 inch baking pan with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.

- Melt 1 cup chocolate for drizzling in 30-second microwave intervals, stirring between each.
- Drizzle melted chocolate across the cooled brownies in a zigzag pattern.
- Garnish with remaining ½ cup fresh strawberry slices across the top.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and even baking.
- Fold strawberries gently into the batter to prevent them from breaking and sinking.
- For gluten-free version, replace all-purpose flour with almond or gluten-free flour blend.
- Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting to help them set and maintain their shape.
