For the Topping:

1 tablespoon sugar (to sprinkle on strawberries)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:
Prepare the Brownie Batter:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan or line with parchment paper.

Prepare the Strawberry Topping:
Toss sliced strawberries with sugar and set aside to macerate.
Make the Chocolate Ganache:
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream just until it begins to boil. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips.
Let sit for one minute, then stir until smooth.
Assemble the Brownies:
Once brownies are cooked and cooled, spread the chocolate ganache over the top.
Arrange the sugared strawberries on top of the ganache.
Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate the brownies for at least 1 hour to set the ganache.
Cut into squares and serve.
