Instructions

Preheat and prepare batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the brownie mix according to package instructions, including any required eggs, oil, and water.
Bake the brownies: Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined 9×9-inch baking dish. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan.
Add strawberries: Once cooled, arrange the halved strawberries cut-side down evenly over the entire surface of the brownies, covering them completely.
Melt chocolate topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
Cover with chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the strawberries, spreading it carefully to cover them fully.
Chill to set: Refrigerate the brownie dish for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate topping to set firmly before slicing and serving.

Notes

Ensure the brownies are completely cool before adding strawberries to avoid moisture causing the fruit to weep.
For clean and easy slicing, dip your knife in hot water between cuts.
Store leftover brownies in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness and chocolate firmness.
