These decadent chocolate-covered strawberry golden brownie bars combine a buttery golden brownie base with fresh strawberries and a luscious chocolate topping for a chewy, fruity, and chocolatey homemade treat that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 cups (300g) fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 8 ounces (225g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy lifting.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and glossy, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until the batter is thick and creamy.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a spatula until just combined; a few small flour streaks are okay.
  6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and tap lightly on the counter to release air bubbles.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until edges are set and center is slightly soft. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  8. Let the brownies cool in the pan for about 15 minutes.
  9. Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring between each until smooth.
  10. Arrange the halved strawberries evenly over the cooled brownie base.
  11. Pour or spread the melted chocolate over the strawberries, covering them but allowing their color to show through.
  12. Chill the pan in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour until the chocolate is firm.
  13. Use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out of the pan and cut into 12 squares with a sharp knife, wiping the blade between slices.

Notes

Use melted butter for a chewy but tender texture. Be gentle when folding dry ingredients to avoid dense bars. Adding coconut oil to chocolate helps it set glossy and slice cleanly. Chill bars thoroughly before slicing to prevent melting chocolate. Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and patted dry. For vegan or gluten-free versions, substitute ingredients as noted.
