Strawberry Brownies Recipe
I have a true love for anything chocolate, and a bit of a soft spot for strawberries, too. So combining the two flavors in this strawberry brownies recipe is a match made in heaven for me. Inspired by chocolate-covered strawberries, this easy brownie recipe is so delicious.
I started by baking a layer of traditional chocolate brownies, then added a layer of cool and creamy strawberry filling, and topped it off with a thin layer of melted chocolate for the finishing touch.
These taste like chocolate-dipped strawberries, but better. These strawberry brownies would make a beautiful Valentine’s Day treat , but are just as fun to bake for holidays, parties, or in my books, any day is a good day for a batch of brownies.

How to Store
You can store leftover brownies in the refrigerator for up to 1 week if you have extra.
Freeze uneaten brownies by wrapping individual portions in a few layers of plastic wrap or aluminum foil and placing them in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before enjoying again.
Serving Suggestions
I love eating brownies with a cold glass of oat milk , but if it’s blistery outdoors and I need something to stave off the cold, I’ll make a honey almond milk flat white or a warming chai latte to gulp them down.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
This is the perfect grocery list filled with all the basics and essentials. It should help get you going if you’re new to cooking, or if you’re just left staring helplessly at an empty pantry and don’t know how to fill it.
