Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

15.25 ounces brownie mix (prepared according to package directions)

Topping

2 cups shredded coconut
16 ounces caramel ice cream topping
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (melted)

Instructions

Prepare Brownies: Prepare the brownie mix according to the package directions and bake as instructed. Keep the oven on for toasting the coconut in the next step.
Toast Coconut: Spread the shredded coconut evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place it in the oven and toast until coconut is evenly browned, stirring frequently to avoid burning. This should take about 3 to 5 minutes.
Cool Coconut: Remove the toasted coconut from the oven and allow it to cool slightly to prevent melting the caramel when mixed.
Combine Caramel and Coconut: In a bowl, stir the caramel ice cream topping into the toasted coconut until well combined.
Layer Topping on Brownies: Evenly spread the coconut and caramel mixture over the cooled brownies, creating a smooth layer.
Drizzle Melted Chocolate: Transfer the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips to a piping bag or a plastic bag with a corner snipped. Drizzle the chocolate over the topping layer in a decorative pattern.
Chill Brownies: Place the brownies in the refrigerator until completely cooled and set, allowing the toppings to firm up.
Slice and Serve: Once chilled, cut the brownies into squares and serve to enjoy the rich combination of textures and flavors.

Notes

Be careful when toasting coconut; it can burn quickly, so stir often and watch closely.
If you don’t have a piping bag, use a sandwich bag with a small corner cut off to drizzle the chocolate.
You can use homemade caramel sauce instead of store-bought caramel ice cream topping if preferred.
Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator to keep the caramel from becoming too runny.
