I got this out of a Pillsbury cookbook. The original recipe called for raspberries, but I like strawberries better so I used them. This recipe uses brownie mix but you could probably sub in your favorite recipe if you wanted. Total time includes chilling time. It is pretty rich but very good. i really like the combo of the cool filling and the chewy brownie. I have this as 16 servings b/c you'll want to cut them small b/c they are rich. Ingredients:
