  • 16 tablespoon butter 2 sticks
  • 8 oz semisweet chocolate chopped
  • ¾ cup of cocoa powder
  • 2 ¼ cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • 1 cup freeze dried strawberries
  • 2 oz semisweet chocolate chopped

  • In a small food processor, blender or spice grinder, grind the freeze dried strawberries into they are almost a powder. They do not have to all be uniform in size, but they should be very finely ground.

  • Bake the brownies for 30-35 minutes. The edges should be firm, crisp and pulled away from the sides, and the center should be slightly soft to the touch.

  • Drizzle with the optional additional melted chocolate.
