Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix (prepared according to the package directions)
Toppings
- 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 evenly on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet. Place it in the oven and toast, stirring often, until the coconut is golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Cool Coconut: Remove the toasted coconut from the oven and let it cool slightly to prevent melting the caramel in the next step.
- Combine Coconut and Caramel: In a bowl, mix the toasted coconut with the entire bottle of caramel ice cream topping until well combined.
- Layer Topping: Evenly spoon the coconut-caramel mixture over the cooled brownies, spreading it to cover the top.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Transfer the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips to a piping bag or a small plastic bag with a snipped corner. Drizzle the chocolate over the brownies in thin lines for a decorative touch.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled brownies until the caramel topping is firm and set, around 1 to 2 hours.
- Serve: Slice into squares and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Watch the coconut closely while toasting to prevent burning, stirring frequently helps it brown evenly.
- You can substitute caramel ice cream topping with homemade caramel sauce if preferred.
- Melt chocolate chips gently in the microwave in short bursts to avoid scorching.
- For extra texture, add chopped nuts or drizzle melted white chocolate alternatively.
- Store refrigerated leftover brownies in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
