Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Brownies: Bake the brownies according to the package directions and keep the oven on for the next step.
  2. Toast Coconut: Spread the shredded coconut on a parchment-lined baking sheet and toast it in the oven for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently until evenly browned. Remove and let cool slightly.
  3. Mix Coconut and Caramel: Stir the slightly cooled toasted coconut together with the caramel ice cream topping until fully combined.
  4. Assemble Topping: Evenly spoon the caramel-coconut mixture over the cooked brownies to form a generous layer.
  5. Drizzle Chocolate: Transfer the melted chocolate chips into a piping bag or plastic bag with a snipped corner and drizzle the chocolate over the caramel topping in a decorative pattern.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the brownies until the topping is set and the dessert is fully cooled, about 1 hour.
  7. Serve: Slice into squares and serve chilled or at room temperature for a rich, layered treat.

Notes

  • Toast coconut carefully to avoid burning; stir frequently for even browning.
  • You can substitute caramel ice cream topping with homemade caramel sauce if preferred.
  • Melt chocolate chips gently in a microwave or double boiler to avoid scorching.
  • For easier drizzling, use a piping bag or plastic sandwich bag with a small corner cut.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator to keep toppings fresh and prevent melting.
