Ingredients

Servings

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

  • 12 strawberries small to medium in size, rinsed and dried completely
  • melting chocolate Ghiradelli and Wilton are great choices for chocolate melts

Strawberry Buttercream

  • 1 cup butter room temperature, unsalted
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 4 tablespoons strawberry jam Bon Maman is a great choice
  • 6 strawberries washed, dried, then diced - these are used to sprinkle on top of the buttercream

Brownies

  • 18 ounce brownie mix boxed
  • 2 egg large
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Rinse all of your whole strawberries (do not cut the tops off) and place them on a plate lined with paper towels and set them aside to dry completely.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  3. Mix all your cupcake ingredients - brownie mix, water, oil, eggs and sour cream, together in a large mixing bowl until combined.
  4. Next, spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray and pour the brownie batter evenly among each tin and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of each brownie. Place the brownies on a cooling rack to cool.
  5. While the brownies are baking, prepare your strawberry buttercream by creaming the softened butter using a hand or stand mixer. Add your strawberry jam and combine with the butter.
  6. Throw in a pinch of salt, then start adding the powdered sugar one cup at a time, combining as you go. Once the buttercream is finished, add to a piping bag.
  7. Pipe the buttercream onto each brownie and top with a tablespoon of diced strawberries around the rim of the buttercream.
  8. Next, melt the melting chocolate in a microwave safe bowl, according to the package instructions. Then dip each strawberry in one at a time, placing each one on top of each frosted brownie cupcake as you go.
