Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix (prepared according to the package directions)
Topping
- 2 cups shredded coconut
- 16 ounce bottle caramel ice cream topping
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (melted)
Instructions
- Prepare Brownies: Bake the brownies according to the package directions provided on the box. Keep the oven on after the brownies are done baking for toasting the coconut in the next step.
- Toast Coconut: Spread the shredded coconut evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place it in the oven and toast for about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often until the coconut is evenly browned and fragrant. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- Mix Coconut with Caramel: In a bowl, combine the toasted coconut with the caramel ice cream topping, stirring thoroughly to coat the coconut with caramel.
- Layer Topping: Spread the caramel-coconut mixture evenly over the cooled brownies to form a thick, luscious layer.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Transfer the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with a snipped corner. Drizzle the chocolate decoratively over the caramel layer on the brownies.
- Chill Brownies: Place the brownies in the refrigerator and chill until the chocolate has set and the topping is firm, ensuring clean slices and enhanced flavor melding.
- Slice and Serve: Once chilled, cut the brownies into squares and serve. Enjoy this decadent treat reminiscent of classic Samoa cookies.
Notes
- Use parchment paper to prevent coconut from sticking during toasting.
- Stir the coconut frequently while toasting to ensure even browning and avoid burning.
- Allow the caramel-coconut layer to cool slightly to prevent melting the chocolate drizzle.
- Store leftover brownies in an airtight container refrigerated to keep them fresh.
- For a nuttier twist, add chopped pecans or walnuts to the caramel-coconut topping.
