Ingredients

For the Brownie Layer

1 cup unsalted butter
2 ¼ cup granulated white sugar
4 large eggs
1 ¼ cups cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
1 cup chocolate chips

For the Toppings

8 ounces Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream
1 pint strawberries hulled and sliced
½ cup peanuts optional
7.25 ounces Magic Shell chocolate sauce or homemade

Instructions

To make the brownies

Preheat oven to 350° and spray a 9x13 pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
In a small pot, melt butter over medium low heat. Once completely melted, add in the sugar and stir together. Continue cooking for 1-2 minutes, stirring continually. Do not let it boil.
1 cup unsalted butter, 2 ¼ cup granulated white sugar
Pour the butter/sugar mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add in cocoa powder and mix to combine.
1 ¼ cups cocoa powder
Add in eggs, salt, baking powder and vanilla. Use a hand mixer to beat until fully incorporated.
4 large eggs, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon salt
With the mixer on low, slowly add in flour until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips to evenly distribute.
1 cup chocolate chips, 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool to room temperature.
While the brownies are cooling, wash and cut the strawberries in halves or quarters.

To Assemble

Once cooled, spread the whipped topping evenly over the brownies.
8 ounces Cool Whip
Sprinkle peanuts on top, if desired.
½ cup peanuts
Place the strawberries on top of the peanut layer.
1 pint strawberries
Drizzle the chocolate sauce over the entire thing.
7.25 ounces Magic Shell chocolate sauce
Cover and move to the fridge to chill for at least two hours.

Notes

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Brownie mix may be used in place of homemade, look for a "family size"/18 oz+ mix and bake according to directions on the box.
Homemade whipped cream may be used in place of Cool Whip.
For best results, use fresh strawberries.
