  • Author: Ella
  • Total Time: 1 hour, 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Description

These Easy Samoa Brownies combine rich, fudgy brownies with toasted coconut, gooey caramel, and a drizzle of melted chocolate for a decadent treat inspired by the famous Samoa cookie flavors. Perfect for dessert lovers, this simple recipe elevates a boxed brownie mix with just a few extra ingredients and easy steps.


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

  1. Prepare Brownies: Bake the brownies according to the package instructions. Keep the oven on for the next step.
  2. 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.
  3. Cool Coconut: Remove the toasted coconut from the oven and let it cool slightly to prevent melting the caramel in the next step.
  4. Combine Coconut and Caramel: In a bowl, mix the toasted coconut with the entire bottle of caramel ice cream topping until well combined.
  5. Layer Topping: Evenly spoon the coconut-caramel mixture over the cooled brownies, spreading it to cover the top.
  6. 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.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled brownies until the caramel topping is firm and set, around 1 to 2 hours.
  8. 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.
