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)
- Prepare the Brownies: Bake the brownies according to the package directions and keep the oven on for the coconut toasting step.
- 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.
- Cool the Coconut: Remove the toasted coconut from the oven and allow it to cool slightly so it is easier to handle.
- Combine Coconut and Caramel: In a bowl, mix the warm toasted coconut with the caramel sauce, stirring until well combined.
- Top the Brownies: Spread the caramel-coconut mixture evenly over the cooled brownies.
- 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.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled brownies until fully cooled and the toppings are set, about 30 minutes.
- 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.
