Ingredients
Scale
Brownies
- 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: 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 the sheet in the oven and toast the coconut for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often until the coconut is evenly browned.
- Cool Coconut: Remove the toasted coconut from the oven and allow it to cool slightly to avoid melting the caramel topping.
- Mix Caramel with Coconut: Add the caramel ice cream topping to the toasted coconut and stir well to combine into a sticky mixture.
- Spread Topping on Brownies: Evenly spoon the caramel-coconut mixture over the baked brownie base, creating a smooth layer on top.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Transfer the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips into a piping bag with a snipped corner, then drizzle the chocolate decoratively over the coconut and caramel layer.
- Chill Brownies: Refrigerate the assembled brownies until cool and set, helping the layers to adhere and the chocolate to firm up.
- Serve: Slice the brownies into squares and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor experience.
Notes
- Be attentive while toasting the coconut as it can burn quickly; stir frequently for even browning.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the brownies after chilling to prevent tearing the topping.
- For a richer chocolate drizzle, use high-quality semi-sweet chocolate chips or bars.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep the caramel and coconut from becoming soggy.
