Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 18.4 oz boxed brownie mix
  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup water

Topping

  • 2 cups shredded coconut
  • 16 ounce bottle caramel ice cream topping
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (melted)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Brownies: Prepare and cook the boxed brownies according to the package directions, using vegetable oil, eggs, and water as specified. Bake until done and set aside.
  2. Toast Coconut: While the oven is still warm, spread the shredded coconut evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place it in the oven and toast, stirring often, until the coconut is evenly browned, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  3. Combine Coconut and Caramel: In a bowl, stir the caramel ice cream topping into the toasted coconut until thoroughly combined and sticky.
  4. Layer Topping on Brownies: Evenly spoon the caramel-coconut mixture over the cooled brownies, spreading it into a smooth layer.
  5. Drizzle Chocolate: Transfer the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips to a piping bag with a snipped corner and drizzle the chocolate decoratively over the caramel-coconut layer.
  6. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled brownies until the topping and drizzle are set and the brownies are fully cooled. Slice into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Toasting the coconut brings out a nuttier flavor and adds crunch to the topping.
  • Use a good quality caramel sauce for the best flavor and texture.
  • Allow the brownies to cool before adding the topping to prevent the caramel from melting too much.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 4 days.
  • The melted chocolate drizzle can be substituted with chocolate ganache for a richer topping.
