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 brownies according to the package directions, combining the brownie mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and water as instructed. Bake until fully cooked and set aside.
  2. Toast Coconut: While the oven is still warm, spread the shredded coconut evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the coconut is evenly browned. Remove from oven and allow it to cool slightly.
  3. Combine Caramel and Coconut: Add the caramel ice cream topping to the toasted coconut and stir well to combine into a sticky mixture.
  4. Top Brownies: Spoon the coconut and caramel mixture evenly over the cooled brownies, spreading gently to create a uniform layer.
  5. Drizzle Chocolate: Transfer the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips to a piping bag or a small plastic bag with a snipped corner. Drizzle the chocolate over the coconut layer on the brownies in a decorative pattern.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled brownies until the chocolate hardens and the topping is set, about 1 to 2 hours, before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For best results, allow the brownies to cool completely before adding the caramel coconut topping to prevent melting.
  • Use parchment paper on the baking sheet when toasting coconut to avoid burning and facilitate easy cleanup.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep toppings fresh.
  • To make cutting easier, chill the brownies thoroughly before slicing.
  • If desired, you can substitute the caramel ice cream topping with homemade caramel sauce for a richer flavor.
