Ingredients
Brownie Base
- 18.4 oz boxed brownie mix, prepared according to package directions
- 2/3 cup vegetable oil (for brownie mix preparation)
- 2 eggs (for brownie mix preparation)
- 1/2 cup water (for brownie mix preparation)
Toppings
- 2 cups shredded coconut
- 16 oz caramel ice cream topping
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownies: Follow the instructions on the boxed brownie mix package using the specified vegetable oil, eggs, and water. Pour the batter into a baking pan and bake as directed until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Toast the Coconut: While the oven is still hot, spread the shredded coconut evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place in the oven and toast until the coconut is evenly browned, stirring frequently, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
- Combine Caramel and Coconut: In a mixing bowl, combine the toasted coconut with the caramel ice cream topping, stirring to evenly coat the coconut with caramel.
- Top the Brownies: Spread the caramel-coconut mixture evenly over the baked brownies while they are still warm enough for the topping to adhere.
- Drizzle Melted Chocolate: Transfer the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips to a piping bag or a plastic bag with a snipped corner and drizzle the chocolate decoratively over the caramel-coconut layer on the brownies.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the brownies until the topping is firm and the chocolate has set. Slice into squares and serve chilled.
Notes
- Use a high-quality boxed brownie mix for best results or substitute with your favorite homemade brownie recipe.
- Watch the coconut carefully while toasting to avoid burning; stir often to ensure even browning.
- Allow the brownies to cool slightly before adding the caramel-coconut topping to prevent it from sliding off.
- Refrigerate brownies to help the caramel topping set firmly before slicing.
- Store leftover brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
