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 the Brownies: Bake the brownies following the package directions to ensure a perfect fudgy base.
- Toast the 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 often, until the coconut is evenly browned and aromatic. Remove and let cool slightly.
- Mix Coconut and Caramel: Combine the warm toasted coconut with the caramel ice cream topping in a bowl, stirring thoroughly to coat all the coconut evenly.
- Layer the Topping: Spread the caramel-coconut mixture evenly over the cooled brownies to form a generous topping layer.
- Drizzle with Chocolate: Transfer the melted semi-sweet chocolate to a piping bag or resealable plastic bag with a small corner snipped. Drizzle the chocolate decoratively over the caramel topping.
- Chill the Brownies: Refrigerate the assembled brownies until the topping is set and cooled completely, about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Slice and Serve: Cut the brownies into squares and serve chilled or at room temperature for a rich, gooey dessert experience.
Notes
- For extra texture, you can stir chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts into the caramel-coconut topping.
- If you prefer a less sweet caramel flavor, use a lighter caramel sauce or reduce the amount slightly.
- Ensure the coconut is evenly toasted for the best flavor and to avoid burnt spots.
- Use high-quality semi-sweet chocolate chips for a smoother melt and better drizzle texture.
- Leftover brownies can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
