Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking pan by greasing it or lining with parchment paper. Mix brownie mix according to package instructions and bake for 25–30 minutes.
  2. Remove brownies from the oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  3. Once cool, cut brownies into squares or circles, arranging them on a platter.
  4. Place a dollop of white icing on each brownie and press a strawberry into the icing, pointy side up.
  5. Pipe swirls of icing around the base of each strawberry for a decorative touch.
  6. Serve immediately for the best texture and visual impact.
