Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 box brownie mix (prepared according to the package directions)
  • 2 cups shredded coconut
  • 16 ounce bottle caramel ice cream topping
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (melted)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Brownies: Bake the brownies according to the instructions on the box. Keep the oven on as you will use it for toasting the coconut.
  2. Toast Coconut: Spread the shredded coconut evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place it in the oven and toast for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the coconut is evenly browned. Remove from oven and allow it to cool slightly.
  3. Combine Coconut and Caramel: Pour the caramel ice cream topping into the toasted coconut. Stir gently until the coconut is completely coated and well combined with the caramel.
  4. Spread Coconut Mixture: Spoon the caramel-coated coconut mixture over the top of the baked brownies, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
  5. Drizzle Chocolate: Transfer the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips into a piping bag or a plastic bag with a small tip cut off. Drizzle the chocolate over the coconut layer in a decorative pattern.
  6. Chill Brownies: Place the brownies in the refrigerator and chill until the caramel and chocolate are set and the brownies are cooled, approximately 1 to 2 hours.
  7. Serve: Slice the brownies into squares and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Be careful not to burn the coconut when toasting; stir frequently to ensure even browning.
  • If you prefer, you can substitute homemade caramel sauce for the store-bought ice cream topping.
  • Melting chocolate slowly in a double boiler or microwave in short bursts helps achieve smooth drizzle consistency.
  • Store leftover brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Allow brownies to come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving for optimal flavor.
