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

  1. Prepare the Brownies: Follow the package directions to bake the brownies. Once baked, keep the oven on for the next step.
  2. Toast the Coconut: Spread the shredded coconut evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place it in the oven and toast for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until the coconut is evenly browned. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  3. Mix Caramel and Coconut: In a bowl, combine the toasted coconut with the caramel ice cream topping, stirring well to combine.
  4. Apply Topping to Brownies: Evenly spoon the caramel-coconut mixture over the cooled brownies, spreading it to cover the surface.
  5. Drizzle Chocolate: Transfer the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips to a piping bag or a plastic bag with a small corner cut off. Drizzle the chocolate over the caramel coconut layer in decorative lines.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the brownies until completely cooled and the topping is set, about 1 to 2 hours.
  7. Slice and Serve: Once chilled, slice the brownies into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Be careful not to burn the coconut when toasting; stir frequently and watch closely.
  • Melt the chocolate chips gently using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts to prevent burning.
  • For easier slicing, chill the brownies thoroughly to let the topping firm up.
  • These brownies keep well when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
