# Instructions:
01 -
Warm your oven to a temperature of 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8 inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring some extra hangs over for easy removal.

In a large mixing bowl, smoothly blend the melted butter with sugar. Introduce the eggs individually, making sure to mix well with each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix.

Carefully sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then fold them delicately into the wet ingredients just until everything is amalgamated, taking care not to overwork the mixture.
04 -
Incorporate the dark chocolate chips by folding them into the batter.
05 -
Evenly distribute half of the brownie mix into the prepared dish. Arrange the sliced strawberries on this layer, cover with strawberry preserves, then finish by spreading the remaining batter to envelop the strawberry layer completely.
06 -
Bake the layered brownies for 35 to 40 minutes, assessing doneness when a toothpick inserted into the center emerges with some moist crumbs.
07 -
Let the brownies cool entirely while they're still in the pan, resting on a wire rack. Adorn with a drizzle of melted dark chocolate once cooled.

With the chocolate drizzle set, slice the brownies into squares and savor the treats!.
