Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix (prepared according to 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. Keep the oven on for the next step.
- Toast Coconut: Spread the shredded coconut on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place it in the oven and toast, stirring frequently, until the coconut is evenly browned, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Cool Coconut: Remove the toasted coconut from the oven and let it cool slightly to prevent melting the caramel topping.
- Mix Coconut and Caramel: Combine the cooled toasted coconut with the caramel ice cream topping, stirring well to incorporate both.
- Assemble Topping: Spoon the caramel-coconut mixture in an even layer over the cooled baked brownies.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Transfer the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips to a piping bag or a plastic bag with a small snipped corner, then drizzle the chocolate evenly over the brownies.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled brownies until they are fully cooled and the chocolate is set, about 1 hour.
- Serve: Slice into squares and enjoy.
Notes
- Watch the coconut closely while toasting to avoid burning as it can brown quickly.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the brownies cleanly once chilled to prevent toppings from sliding.
- You can substitute caramel ice cream topping with homemade caramel sauce for a richer flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Allow the brownies to come to room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving for the best flavor and texture.
