Description

Decadent Samoa Brownies inspired by the classic Girl Scout cookies, layered with rich chocolate, caramel, and toasted coconut.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on box)
  • 3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 (14 oz) bag of soft caramels, unwrapped
  • 3 tbsp milk or heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or butter (optional, for smoother chocolate drizzle)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven according to brownie mix instructions. Prepare and bake brownies as directed in a 9×13-inch pan. Let cool completely.
  2. While brownies are cooling, toast the shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown, stirring frequently. Set aside.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unwrapped caramels with milk and salt in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  4. Mix the toasted coconut into the melted caramel until evenly coated.
  5. Spread the caramel-coconut mixture evenly over the cooled brownies.
  6. In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  7. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the caramel-coconut layer.
  8. Let set at room temperature or refrigerate until firm before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • Use homemade brownies if preferred instead of boxed mix.
  • Chill the brownies before cutting for cleaner slices.
  • You can substitute caramel sauce in a pinch, but texture may be softer.
