Can I use store-bought brownie mix?

Yes! Boxed brownie mix works perfectly for this recipe. It saves time while delivering a fudgy, chocolatey base. You can also use homemade brownies for an even richer flavor.

How long do these brownies last?

They’re best enjoyed within 24 hours , as strawberries can release moisture that softens the brownie layer. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator.

Can I make them ahead of time?

You can prepare the brownie base up to a day ahead and store it tightly wrapped. Add the strawberries and ganache just before serving for the best texture and presentation.

Can I use frozen strawberries?

Fresh strawberries are ideal. Frozen ones tend to release too much liquid as they thaw, which can make the brownies soggy.

Can I double the recipe for a larger batch?

Absolutely. Just use a 13x9-inch pan and double all ingredients. Make sure to keep the strawberry and ganache layers balanced.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare brownie mix according to the package instructions. Pour batter into an 8×8-inch baking pan.
