Easy Samoa Brownies Recipe

4.6 from 108 reviews

These Easy Samoa Brownies are a delicious twist on classic brownies, topped with toasted coconut mixed with rich caramel and drizzled with melted semi-sweet chocolate. Inspired by the flavors of the popular Girl Scout Samoa cookie, this dessert combines fudgy brownies with a gooey, caramel-coconut topping for an irresistible treat perfect for any occasion.

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

  1. Prepare the Brownies: Bake the brownies according to the package directions and keep the oven on for the coconut toasting step.
  2. Toast the Coconut: Spread the shredded coconut evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place it in the oven and toast until the coconut is golden brown, stirring frequently, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Cool the Coconut: Remove the toasted coconut from the oven and allow it to cool slightly so it is easier to handle.
  4. Combine Coconut and Caramel: In a bowl, mix the warm toasted coconut with the caramel sauce, stirring until well combined.
  5. Top the Brownies: Spread the caramel-coconut mixture evenly over the cooled brownies.
  6. Drizzle Chocolate: Transfer the melted semi-sweet chocolate to a piping bag or a plastic bag with a small corner snipped, then drizzle it over the coconut layer decoratively.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled brownies until fully cooled and the toppings are set, about 30 minutes.
  8. Slice and Serve: Cut into squares and serve chilled for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Be sure to watch the coconut closely while toasting as it can burn quickly.
  • If you don’t have caramel ice cream topping, you can substitute with caramel sauce.
  • For easier chocolate drizzling, use a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with a small cut at the corner.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator to keep the caramel and chocolate set.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely before adding the toppings to prevent melting.
