Ingredients
  

Brownie Base
  • 1 box boxed brownie mix Feel free to substitute with your favorite homemade brownie recipe.
  • 2 large eggs Make sure they're at room temperature for best results.
  • 1/2 cup oil Vegetable or canola oil works perfectly.
Topping
  • 1 cup shredded coconut Opt for unsweetened coconut if you'd like less sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup caramel ice cream topping Try homemade caramel for a richer flavor.
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Dark chocolate can be swapped in for a more intense taste.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • 9x13-inch baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Baking sheet

  • piping bag

Method
 

Prepare the Brownie Base
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the boxed brownie mix, eggs, and oil as per the package instructions. Whisk until smooth and pour into a greased or parchment-lined 9x13-inch baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
Toast the Coconut
  1. Spread shredded coconut evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Toast in the oven for about 3-5 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Make the Caramel-Coconut Layer
  1. Mix the cooled toasted coconut with caramel ice cream topping until thoroughly combined. Layer this mix over the brownies after cooling for about 10 minutes.
Drizzle the Chocolate
  1. Melt semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle over the caramel-coconut layer.
Chill and Slice
  1. Chill the brownies in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Once firm, slice into 16 squares.

Notes

For best results, line your baking pan with parchment paper. Keep a close eye on the coconut to prevent burning, and chill before cutting for cleaner slices.
