| It's in two halves because my dad wanted some! |
I wasn't sure what to call these, since I kind of made up the recipe. A friend of mine wanted me to a bring a dessert over, but I didn't have a lot of time. So I figured I'd make box brownies, but with a twist.

I used the Betty Crocker "Supreme Chocolate Chunk" brownie mix. All you do is mix it with some water, oil, and an egg, and voilà! But I wanted to make them a little more special. I used Pillsbury's chocolate fudge icing on top, but I took it one step further...
Another friend of mine gave me this strawberry almond vanilla extra for Christmas. I had never heard of such a thing! She got it from the Spice Suite in Washington, D.C. I hadn't tried it yet, so I thought I'd put it in these brownies. I added one teaspoon; I know extracts can be really flavorful, so I figured a little would go a long way. And of course to give a clue about the strawberry flavor, I sliced some strawberries and put those on top. They make pretty decoration, too!
At first the strawberry flavor is strong, but as I was eating the brownie, the chocolate took over to the point that the strawberry was just a hint. So if you like a strawberry-chocolate combo, you would love these brownies!
