5 from 118 reviews

Delight in these Easy Samoa Brownies that combine rich, fudgy brownies with toasted coconut, luscious caramel, and a drizzle of melted chocolate for a decadent treat inspired by the iconic Samoa cookie flavors.

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 Brownies: Bake the brownies according to the package directions. Keep the oven on for the next step.
  2. Toast Coconut: Spread shredded coconut evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the sheet in the oven and toast for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the coconut is evenly browned. Remove and let cool slightly.
  3. Mix Caramel with Coconut: Add the caramel ice cream topping to the toasted coconut and stir well to combine into a sticky mixture.
  4. Spread Topping: Evenly spoon the caramel and coconut mixture over the baked brownies, covering the entire surface.
  5. Drizzle Chocolate: Transfer the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips to a piping bag or a small plastic bag with a corner snipped off. Drizzle the chocolate decoratively over the coconut topping.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the brownies until the topping is set and the brownies are cool, about 1 to 2 hours.
  7. Serve: Slice into squares and serve chilled for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use shredded coconut, not sweetened flakes, for better toasting.
  • Stir the coconut often while toasting to prevent burning.
  • Refrigerating helps the caramel and chocolate toppings set, making the brownies easier to cut.
  • For a richer chocolate drizzle, use good quality semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate melts.
  • These brownies are inspired by the flavor profile of Samoa cookies, perfect for cookie lovers.
