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
- Prepare Brownies: Bake the brownies according to the package instructions. Keep the oven on for the next step.
- Toast Coconut: Spread the shredded coconut onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place it in the warm 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 allow it to cool slightly to prevent melting the caramel.
- Combine Caramel and Coconut: In a bowl, mix the toasted coconut with the caramel ice cream topping until thoroughly combined.
- Assemble Topping: Evenly spread the caramel and coconut mixture over the cooled brownies in an even layer.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Transfer the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips to a piping bag or a small plastic bag with a corner cut off. Drizzle the chocolate decoratively over the top of the brownies.
- Chill: Place the assembled brownies in the refrigerator and chill until the topping is set and brownies are cooled, about 30 minutes.
- Serve: Slice the brownies into squares and serve for a delightful treat.
Notes
- Watch the coconut carefully while toasting to prevent burning.
- You can substitute homemade caramel sauce if preferred.
- Melt chocolate slowly over a double boiler to avoid burning.
- Store brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- For a nutty twist, sprinkle chopped toasted pecans on top before chilling.
