Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 15.25 ounces 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: Bake the brownies according to the package directions. Keep the oven on as you will be using it shortly to toast the coconut.
- Toast Coconut: Spread the shredded coconut evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place it in the oven and toast the coconut until it is evenly browned, stirring frequently to prevent burning, for about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Cool Coconut: Remove the coconut from the oven and allow it to cool slightly to prevent the caramel from melting too much upon mixing.
- Mix Caramel and Coconut: Combine the slightly cooled toasted coconut with the caramel ice cream topping by stirring them together until well incorporated.
- Layer Topping on Brownies: Spoon and spread the caramel and coconut mixture evenly over the baked brownies.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Pour the melted semi-sweet chocolate into a piping bag or use a small plastic bag with the corner snipped off. Drizzle the chocolate over the caramel coconut layer in a decorative pattern.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate the brownies until the chocolate is set and the brownies are cooled completely.
- Slice and Serve: Cut into desired portions and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use a high-quality caramel topping for the best flavor.
- Be careful while toasting coconut to avoid burning; stir often.
- Melting the chocolate slowly over a double boiler ensures smooth drizzling.
- Refrigerate the brownies to help the caramel and chocolate toppings set for cleaner slices.
- For added crunch, consider mixing in chopped nuts into the caramel coconut layer.
