Chocolate Brownie Recipe with Strawberry Jam Topping

Looking for a chocolate brownie recipe from scratch?  I think you’ll love this one as it qualifies as an easy brownie recipe with cocoa powder.  Brownies are delicious and making them should be quick to make and a stress-free.  Take some time and dress your brownie to impress… this one has some homemade strawberry jam as topping that was also fun and quick to make.

Brownies bring some  big smiles to my family.  My husband goes right for the crispier edge pieces while I like the softer center pieces.  Much like banana bread I rotate between making brownies with nuts and brownies without nuts (for this one I opted for no nuts as it has tasteful toppings).
