Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

1 box brownie mix, prepared according to package directions

Toppings

2 cups shredded coconut
16 oz bottle caramel ice cream topping
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted

Instructions

Prepare Brownies: Prepare and bake the brownies according to the package directions, ensuring they are cooked fully before adding toppings.
Toast Coconut: Preheat the oven to 350°F if it’s not already on. Spread shredded coconut evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure even browning and prevent burning. Once golden brown, remove and let cool slightly.
Combine Coconut and Caramel: In a mixing bowl, stir the toasted coconut with the caramel ice cream topping until the coconut is fully coated and sticky.
Top Brownies: Spoon the caramel-coconut mixture evenly over the baked brownies, spreading it gently to cover the surface.
Drizzle Chocolate: Transfer the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a small corner cut off. Drizzle the chocolate over the caramel-topped brownies in a thin, decorative pattern.
Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the brownies until completely cooled and set to allow the toppings to firm up. Slice into squares and serve.

Notes

Stir the shredded coconut frequently while toasting to ensure it browns evenly and doesn’t burn.
Chilling the brownies before slicing helps produce clean, neat bars that hold their shape.
For easier slicing, wipe your knife clean between each cut to avoid sticky buildup.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
These brownies freeze well for up to 2 months; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
