Rich chocolate topping over fresh strawberries make this decadent Strawberry Brownie Crumble a must try for the true brownie lover!
The title of this recipe may leave you wondering, what? or maybe you’re intrigued or perhaps even thinking about chocolate covered strawberries? Man do I love me some chocolate covered strawberries! But what girl doesn’t right? There is a candy company in Jacksonville, FL called Peterbrooke Chocolatier and they make some truly amazing confections, one of which is chocolate covered strawberries. Yesterday I had a brownie craving at 8 in the morning, you know those days when the urge hits way too early? Well this got me thinking about how to satisfy said urge and after a trip to the gym and the grocery store I turned to my trust brownie cook book. If you haven’t read one of the posts I have done about brownies since last October, than you need to check out Brownie Points by Lisa Slater. I was thumbing through the book and a recipe for crumble topping caught my eye; at this point I started questioning what I was reading and trying to decide if strawberries baked with brownie crumble would taste good or not? Obviously my instincts told my mind to stop being crazy and start mixing. Fresh strawberries tossed in lemon juice and sugar and covered with a deliciously, rich chocolate topping makes for a decadent dessert any brownie lover must try. You can substitute the fruit for another of your choice, especially depending on the season; I can’t wait to try this with cherries. Whether you serve it alone or with ice cream, I hope you’ll enjoy; happy baking!

This is a good article on substitutions, since its a sweet dessert I’d probably go with the tapioca or arrow root: http://www.myrecipes.com/how-to/cooking-questions/constarch-substitutes-00420000013001/
Oh my god this sounds INCREDIBLE! Strawberries and chocolate are the best things ever.. how did I not think of this?! Pinning immediately. I don’t think you can get corn starch in the UK – any idea what I could use as an alternative? Thanks!
