Ingredients
Scale
Brownies
- 1 box brownie mix (or 1 batch of your favorite homemade brownie recipe)
- Ingredients required to prepare brownie mix (usually eggs, oil, water)
Caramel
- 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Coconut
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
Chocolate
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownies: Preheat your oven according to the brownie mix instructions. Prepare the brownie batter as directed on the package or use your homemade recipe. Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake according to the recommended time until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
- Toast the Coconut: While the brownies are baking, spread shredded coconut evenly on a baking sheet and toast in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning. Remove and let cool.
- Layer the Toppings: Once the brownies have cooled slightly, pour the caramel sauce evenly over the top of the warm brownies. Quickly sprinkle the toasted coconut evenly over the caramel layer.
- Drizzle with Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with butter in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel and coconut layer, using a spoon or piping bag for a decorative effect.
- Chill Before Slicing: Refrigerate the assembled brownies for at least 1 hour to allow the caramel to set and the flavors to meld. Once chilled, slice into squares and serve.
Notes
- For a homemade caramel, use homemade salted caramel sauce to add depth of flavor.
- You can substitute sweetened shredded coconut with unsweetened if you prefer a less sweet topping.
- Ensure the brownies are warm when pouring caramel, so it spreads evenly but is not too hot to melt the layers beneath.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- To make cutting easier, warm the knife under hot water and dry before slicing the brownies.
