9 tablespoons unsalted butter 127 grams, cubed (1⅛ sticks)

Instructions

For the Brownies

Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a 13x9-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk the flour and salt together; set aside.
1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon kosher salt
In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until lighter in color and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
½ cup salted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar
Add eggs, one-at-a-time. Beat well after each addition.
4 large eggs
Add syrup and vanilla - beat well.
16 ounces chocolate syrup, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Sprinkle the flour/salt mixture over the chocolate mixture and mix just until no dry flour remains.
Pour into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 30 minutes (the brownie top will still appear wet). Transfer brownies to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the Strawberry Filling

Cream together softened butter and powdered sugar. Beat until smooth.
½ cup salted butter, 1 cup powdered sugar
Add strawberry jam and cream together until well incorporated.
¼ cup strawberry jam
Spread the strawberry over the cooled brownies. Cover and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.

For the Chocolate Topping

Melt the chocolate chips and butter together. Stir until completely blended. Once the chocolate has cooled (at least 30 minutes), spread it over the strawberry layer and place the brownies back in the refrigerator.
10 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, 9 tablespoons unsalted butter
When ready to serve, cut into small bars.

Notes

If you choose to use unsalted butter, add about ½ teaspoon of kosher salt to the brownies and ¼ teaspoon to the strawberry filling.
You can use strawberry jam OR jelly. It's up to personal preference.
You could also use a different flavor of jam or jelly, such as raspberry or blackberry.

Storage: Store strawberry brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
