Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients required on the box)
- 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 (11 oz) bag soft caramels (about 40 pieces), unwrapped
- 3 tbsp milk or heavy cream
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare the brownie mix according to package instructions. Bake in a greased 9×13 inch pan and let cool completely.
- While brownies cool, toast the shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown, stirring frequently. Set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine unwrapped caramels, milk, and salt. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Stir the toasted coconut into the melted caramel mixture.
- Spread the caramel coconut topping evenly over the cooled brownies.
- Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave and drizzle over the top of the caramel coconut layer.
- Let brownies set at room temperature or refrigerate to firm up before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Use parchment paper in the pan for easier removal and cleaner slices.
- You can use homemade brownies instead of box mix for a richer taste.
- Add a pinch of sea salt on top for a sweet-salty contrast.
