Growing up, brownies were one of the desserts my mother always made. It was either them or no bake cookies. And while the no bakes were from scratch, the brownies were always a box mix. I know I can’t be the only one who kind of LOVES boxed brownies, right? Any other fans out there?
There’s just something about them, the perfect amount of fudgyness, the crispy film on the top, and when they’re warm out of the oven… oh my, where’s the milk?
Now that I’m older, I like to doctor up those box mixes a bit to make them more fun. This recipe in particular is perfect for those who like it sweet and who enjoy a bit of fruit mixed in with their chocolate. The boxed brownie makes up the base while a layer of strawberry flavored candy creme makes up the middle after being topped with a rich and decadent chocolate ganache. And then we’re going to drizzle it up with some chocolate syrup because that’s just how we roll. Oh and don’t forget that fresh strawberry either!
One thing I love most about this recipe is that it’s super customizable, you see if you’re not a huge strawberry fan, that middle layer can actually be flavored with any extract. Want mint brownies, use peppermint instead of strawberry, the same goes for fun flavors like root beer or lemon. The possibilities are endless!
