Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix (prepared according to the package directions)
Coconut Caramel Topping
- 2 cups shredded coconut
- 16 ounce bottle caramel ice cream topping
Chocolate Drizzle
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (melted)
Instructions
- Prepare Brownies: Bake the brownie mix according to the directions on the box. Leave the oven on after baking to toast the coconut next.
- Toast Coconut: Spread the shredded coconut evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the sheet in the oven and toast the coconut, stirring often, until it turns a golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful to watch it closely to avoid burning.
- Cool Coconut: Remove the toasted coconut from the oven and allow it to cool slightly to prevent melting the caramel when mixed.
- Mix Caramel with Coconut: In a bowl, combine the slightly cooled toasted coconut with the caramel ice cream topping, stirring until the mixture is even and well incorporated.
- Spread Topping on Brownies: Spoon this caramel coconut mixture evenly over the cooled brownies, covering the entire surface.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Transfer the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips into a piping bag or resealable plastic bag with a small corner cut off. Drizzle the chocolate over the caramel-coconut layer in a decorative pattern.
- Chill Brownies: Refrigerate the assembled brownies until the topping and chocolate drizzle are set and the brownies are chilled, ensuring neat slices.
- Serve: Slice into squares and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor experience.
Notes
- Watch the coconut closely while toasting as it can burn quickly.
- Use full-fat caramel ice cream topping for best flavor and texture.
- Allow brownies to cool completely before spreading the topping to prevent melting.
- Store the brownies in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to keep the topping firm.
- For a nutty twist, sprinkle toasted chopped pecans or walnuts over the caramel layer before adding chocolate drizzle.
