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 Brownies: Bake the brownies according to the package directions. Keep the oven on for the next step.
- 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.
- Mix Caramel with Coconut: Add the caramel ice cream topping to the toasted coconut and stir well to combine into a sticky mixture.
- Spread Topping: Evenly spoon the caramel and coconut mixture over the baked brownies, covering the entire surface.
- 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.
- Chill: Refrigerate the brownies until the topping is set and the brownies are cool, about 1 to 2 hours.
- 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.
