½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup salted butter 113 grams, room temperature (1 stick)
1 cup granulated sugar 200 grams
4 large eggs 200 grams, room temperature
16 ounces chocolate syrup 453 grams (1 can), such as Hershey's
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 4 grams

For the Strawberry Filling

½ cup salted butter 113 grams, room temperature (1 stick)
1 cup powdered sugar 113 grams
¼ cup strawberry jam 85 grams, try jelly or use raspberry or blackberry

For the Topping

10 ounces semisweet chocolate chips 283 grams (1 package)
9 tablespoons unsalted butter 127 grams, cubed (1⅛ sticks)

Instructions

For the Brownies

Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a 13x9-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk the flour and salt together; set aside.
1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon kosher salt
In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until lighter in color and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
½ cup salted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar
Add eggs, one-at-a-time. Beat well after each addition.
4 large eggs
Add syrup and vanilla. Beat well.
16 ounces chocolate syrup, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Sprinkle the flour/salt mixture over the chocolate mixture and mix just until no dry flour remains.
Pour into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 30 minutes (the brownie top will still appear wet). Transfer brownies to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the Strawberry Filling

Cream together softened butter and powdered sugar. Beat until smooth.
½ cup salted butter, 1 cup powdered sugar
Add strawberry jam and cream together until well incorporated.
¼ cup strawberry jam
Spread the strawberry over the cooled brownies. Cover and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.

For the Chocolate Topping

Melt the chocolate chips and butter together. Stir until completely blended. Once the chocolate has cooled (at least 30 minutes), spread it over the strawberry layer and place the brownies back in the refrigerator.
10 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, 9 tablespoons unsalted butter
When ready to serve, cut into small bars.
