Ingredients

Scale

For the Brownie Base:

  • 1 box brownie mix (for a 9×13-inch pan) + ingredients listed on the package
    (or use your favorite homemade brownie recipe)

For the Topping:

  • 2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1 (11 oz) bag caramel bits or soft caramel candies
  • 2 tbsp milk or heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownies:
    • Preheat your oven and prepare the brownie batter according to package instructions. Bake in a 9×13-inch pan and let cool completely.
  2. Toast the Coconut:
    • Spread the shredded coconut evenly on a baking sheet.
    • Toast in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  3. Melt the Caramel:
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel bits and milk (or heavy cream).
    • Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and fully melted.
  4. Assemble the Topping:
    • Mix the toasted coconut into the melted caramel until evenly combined.
    • Spread the caramel-coconut mixture evenly over the cooled brownies.
  5. Add the Chocolate Drizzle:
    • Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
    • Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel-coconut layer.
  6. Cool and Serve:
    • Let the brownies set at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up. Slice into squares and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use parchment paper to line your baking pan for easier removal.
  • For extra indulgence, drizzle caramel sauce alongside the chocolate.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
