you saw a glimpse of today's treat,
strawberry rose topped brownie torte.
it's a definite people pleaser that combines
chocolate, frosting, ganache and strawberries
so y'know it's gonna be good!

just use your fave brownie mix and a mold or you can even put it in a regular pan and cut into squares.
i used a heart mold cuz i had these at
a galentine party last weekend.

follow the directions on the box to bake
then when they're done baking,

this way they will lay flat on the bottom
and the top to hold the strawberry.

remove from the mold after 5 minutes then allow to cool completely before slicing each brownie in half as shown:

next up you'll need to make the frosting
with these ingredients:

then pipe it on top of the brownie bottom
and top it off with the other half.

of course you want the recipe which you can get here,
and as you will see, i left the frosting all one color
(even though it looks beige in one pic and white in the next!) and i didn't make any candy or frosting decor, just used the strawberries instead.( i do make the christmas tree but it's february and thought that'd be weird to do so! lol)

if you're on a diet, just make 'em anyway
cuz they're so pretty you can just stare at them...
or better yet, pass them to me!
