3 tbs. butter

Strawberry Brownies

1 Brownie Mix
1 (3.5 oz) pkg vanilla instant pudding
1 1/2 cups milk
2 cups frozen non-dairy whipped topping
1 quart fresh strawberries

Preheat oven to 350.
Grease bottom and sides of two 9-inch round cake pans.
Prepare brownie mix according to package directions for cake-like brownies; pour into prepared pans.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes
Cool 10 minutes. Remove from pans; cool completely.

Meanwhile, stir pudding mix and milk in medium bowl; mix well. Chill 5 minutes. Fold in whipped topping. Chill.

To serve, place one brownie layer on plate. Top with half each of pudding mixture and
strawberries. Repeat.


Easier to serve (and just as good) with brownies cooked in a 9x13 pan and then pudding mixture and strawberries on top.
