Ingredients
  • 10 medium strawberries cut in half
  • 1 cup/ 113 grams butter
  • 5.5 ounces/ 155 grams dark chocolate bar cut into chunks (or chips)
  • 5.5 ounces/ 155 grams milk chocolate bar cut into chunks (or chips)
  • 1½ cups/ 300 grams sugar
  • ½ cup/ 110 grams brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1¼ cups/ 172 grams all-purpose flour
  • 5 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C.
  2. Line a 9x13" baking dish with parchment paper
  3. Scatter the cut strawberries across the bottom of the parchment paper. Set dish aside.
  4. In a medium saucepan melt the butter over medium-low heat. (I used number 3 out of 9 on my settings)
  5. Lower the heat and add the dark and milk chocolate chunks. Stir gently until chocolate is melted and combined with the butter.
  6. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the sugar, brown sugar and salt. Stir until well mixed in.
  7. Now stir in the vanilla extract.
  8. Add the eggs one at a time. In between each egg stir and mix until the egg is completely incorporated before adding the next egg.
  9. Fold in the cocoa powder and flour. Be gentle and don't over mix. It's ok if there are still a few lumps - if you mix too much you'll have a tough brownie.
  10. Pour the batter over the strawberries in your prepared pan. Try to make sure your batter is evenly distributed across the pan.
  11. Bake in the oven for 33 min or until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out pretty clean.
  12. Use the parchment paper to lift the brownies out of the pan. Let cool slightly then cut and serve.
