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