Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  2. Combine the brownie mix according to the package instructions in a mixing bowl. Add water, oil, and eggs as specified, and fold in chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  3. Prepare the crunchy topping by mixing freeze-dried strawberries, graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and powdered sugar in a bowl until crumbly.
  4. If adding cream cheese, beat softened cream cheese until smooth, then add powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Once cooled, spread the cream cheese layer over the brownies if using, then sprinkle the strawberry crunch mixture on top, pressing down gently.
  6. Cut the brownies into squares and serve, or refrigerate for a chilled dessert.
