Featuring rich homemade brownies topped with toasted coconut, luscious caramel, and drizzled semi-sweet chocolate, this recipe combines chewy, sweet, and chocolatey flavors into one irresistible dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

1 box brownie mix (prepared according to the package directions)

Toppings

2 cups shredded coconut
16 ounce bottle caramel ice cream topping
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (melted)

Instructions

Prepare Brownies: Cook the brownies according to the package directions and keep the oven on for the next step.
Toast Coconut: Spread the shredded coconut evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place it in the oven and toast the coconut for about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently until it is evenly browned.
Cool Coconut: Remove the toasted coconut from the oven and allow it to cool slightly to prevent melting the caramel topping later.
Combine Caramel and Coconut: In a mixing bowl, stir together the toasted coconut and the caramel ice cream topping until fully combined.
Top Brownies: Spoon the caramel-coconut mixture over the cooked brownies, spreading it out evenly into a smooth layer.
Drizzle Chocolate: Transfer the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips into a piping bag or a plastic bag with a small corner snipped off. Drizzle the chocolate over the coconut topping evenly.
Chill: Refrigerate the brownies until the topping sets and the brownies are thoroughly cooled, about 1 to 2 hours.
Serve: Slice the brownies into squares and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

Be careful not to burn the coconut while toasting; stir frequently and watch closely.
Using a piping bag for the chocolate drizzle creates a neat and attractive presentation.
Refrigerating the brownies helps the caramel and chocolate topping firm up for easier slicing.
This recipe is easily doubled for larger gatherings.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
