If you love chocolate-covered strawberries and can’t resist a rich, fudgy brownie, this dessert brings the best of both worlds together. Chocolate covered strawberry brownies are the ultimate indulgence, a layered treat that’s as beautiful as it is delicious. It starts with a dense, chewy brownie base that acts as a rich foundation for fresh strawberries and a silky chocolate ganache.
What makes this dessert so irresistible is the contrast of textures and flavors. The brownie layer is deep and decadent, with that perfect balance of crisp edges and gooey center. On top of that, fresh, halved strawberries are nestled closely together, adding natural sweetness and a burst of juicy flavor. The finishing touch? A thick blanket of smooth chocolate ganache poured over the strawberries, creating that signature chocolate-covered effect.
This dessert looks impressive but is surprisingly easy to make. Start with your favorite homemade brownie recipe, or even a quality box mix if you’re short on time. While the brownies bake and cool, prep your strawberries by washing, hulling, and halving them. Once the brownie layer is completely cool, arrange the strawberries cut-side down, covering the entire surface. Then gently pour warm ganache over the top and spread it to cover all the berries.
Once chilled, the ganache sets into a glossy layer that slices beautifully. Every bite delivers that classic chocolate-covered strawberry flavor, only with the bonus of brownie decadence. It’s perfect for Valentine’s Day, birthdays, or any occasion that calls for a sweet showstopper.
For an extra touch, drizzle with white chocolate or add a sprinkle of sea salt before chilling. These brownies are rich, so small squares go a long way, but don’t be surprised if they disappear fast.

Brownie with a glaze? Who does that? I like ’em plain!
I get what you’re saying, but the glaze makes it fancy! Give it a try before judging!
Wasn’t expecting much, but WHOA! They are so chocolaty and sweet, loved it!
I agree! They are super chocolaty! I wasn’t sure about the strawberries but they were so good together! 🍓
These brownies are to die for! The strawberries make them so fresh!
Yum! I added some nuts for crunch. Will definitely make again!
Ugh, the glaze was too sweet for my taste. Next time I’ll skip it.
Yum! I added more chocolate chips and it was killer! 😍
That sounds amazing! More chocolate is always better, right? 🍫
These were amazing! I added extra strawberries on top.
These brownies seemed too sweet for my taste. Didn’t like them much. 🤷♂️
Extra strawberries? Genius idea! I’ll def try that next time. 🍓
I was a bit skeptical about using a box mix, but these turned out great! The glaze was easy too. 4 stars!
They tasted fine, but I think I prefer regular brownies. Not sure the strawberries were needed.
Strawberries in brownies? Sounds weird! Stick to chocolate, it’s classic. 🌟
I kinda get what you mean! Regular brownies are classic, but these aren’t bad! Have you tried them warm?
So good! But next time I think I’ll add more strawberries on top.
I burnt mine. 🤦♀️ Followed the time but my oven runs hot! But they still tasted good.
Just okay, I think the strawberries are ruining the brownies. Stick to chocolate next time!
These brownies are amazing! The combination of chocolate and strawberries is just heavenly. Definitely a 5-star treat! 🍓🍫
Just okay. I think I can make better brownies without all the fuss.
I get what you mean, sometimes simpler is better! Maybe try a basic chocolate recipe next time? They can be super tasty too!
My kids loved it! But I may have eaten half before they did… shhhh.
Haha, that’s the spirit! Chocolate is too good to share sometimes. 😄
My favorite dessert! I always have to double the batch, everyone loves them. Easily a 5!
I tried making these for a party once. They were a total hit! I didn’t double the batch though, big mistake!
I tried this recipe but the brownies turned out too dry. Maybe I overbaked them? Not sure if I would make again.
This recipe is suuper easy! Even I did it without mess up! Haha! Gonna make again.
I’m so glad to hear that! These brownies are so yummy and fun to make! 😍
These brownies are soooo good! I made them for my kids and they devoured them. Definitely a 5-star recipe! 🍓🍫
I’m so glad your kids loved them! Brownies are always a hit. 🍫❤️
How can you call this a recipe? Just a box mix and some fruit? LOL 1 star.
But like, it’s still a recipe? Who cares if it’s from a box? It’s all about the taste! 🙄
I think it sounds delicious! Sometimes simple is better. Fresh fruit makes it fancy! 😊
Not what I was expecting. The strawberries were too mushy on top. I think I’ll stick to traditional brownies. 2 stars.
I personally loved them! The strawberries added a nice twist, but I guess it’s not for everyone. Maybe try less fruit next time? 🤷♀️
I dunno, why use strawberries? They just get mushy. Chocolate is best alone.
These brownies are LIFE. I made them for my daughter’s party and they were a hit!
Chocolate covered strawberries are for summer picnics, not brownies! But I guess whatever floats your boat 🤷♀️. Didn’t try it.
This recipe is easy! I added nuts and it was still tasty. Will make again! Thanks for sharing!
I don’t get why people like strawberries with chocolate…. it’s just weird.
I think it’s missing somethin, like nuts or whipped cream, maybe? All in all, not bad tho. I’d give it a 3.
I tried this recipe but it didn’t taste how I thought it would. The brownies were too sweet.
Sounds yummy! But I don’t think brownies can ever be too sweet. Just give me more chocolate any day! 😋
I totally get it! Brownies can be super sweet sometimes, especially with chocolate chips added. You might wanna try reducing the sugar next time or use dark chocolate instead. That might balance out the sweetness! 🍫
Delicious but I can’t bake for the life of me. Ended up burning them. Sad face.
These brownies were absolutely divine! The strawberries on top were a perfect touch. My kids loved them. Will definitely make again!
I don’t know about brownies with strawberries, sounds odd to me!
I thought the same thing at first, but trust me, it’s delicious! The strawberries add a nice freshness to the chocolate. Give it a try!
Strawberries and brownies? Really? That’s like mixing pickles in ice cream! I’m not sure about this one…
Yum! Very simple and the kids loved it! Gonna make again this weekend. Thanks!
I made them too, but my kids weren’t impressed. Maybe I did something wrong? 🤔
So glad to hear it! These brownies are a hit for sure. Enjoy your weekend baking! 🍓
This recipe is amazing! I didn’t have vanilla… Still worked! So good!!
I’m so glad it worked out for you! Those strawberries must’ve added a nice touch. I’m definitely trying this recipe soon!
No vanilla? How’d you manage that? Seems like it could mess with the flavor. But if it was good, maybe I won’t bother with the vanilla either!
I don’t like brownies, but my friend loved them. Strange combo with strawberries, but whatever floats yer boat.
I followed the recipe but the brownies turned out dry. Maybe I overbaked them? Not great.
I messed up the mix and used salted butter. Tasted weird but still edible lol.
Um, why do you need to make a glaze? I just used whipped cream on top. Much easier!
Made these with my little sister. She had so much fun! Cute and tasty!!
Why use a box mix? Real brownies are made from scratch! I feel like the chocolate chips don’t really add much to the mix. Just my opinion.
