Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix (prepared according to the package directions)
Topping
- 2 cups shredded coconut
- 16 ounces caramel ice cream topping
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (melted)
Instructions
- Prepare Brownies: Prepare and bake the brownies following the package instructions. Keep the oven on for the next step.
- Toast Coconut: Spread the shredded coconut evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place in the oven and toast until evenly browned, stirring frequently, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
- Mix Caramel and Coconut: In a bowl, combine the toasted coconut with the caramel topping, stirring well to coat evenly.
- Spread Topping on Brownies: Evenly spoon and spread the caramel-coconut mixture over the cooled brownies.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Transfer the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips to a piping bag or plastic bag with a small corner cut off. Drizzle the chocolate over the caramel-coconut layer in decorative lines.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the brownies until the toppings are firm and chilled, about 30 minutes.
- Slice and Serve: Cut the brownies into 16 servings and enjoy your decadent treat.
Notes
- Watch the coconut closely while toasting as it can burn quickly.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease in cleanup.
- Melt the chocolate chips gently using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts to avoid burning.
- If desired, substitute caramel ice cream topping with homemade caramel sauce for a more natural flavor.
- Store leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
