Description
Delicious brownies topped with caramel, toasted coconut, and a drizzle of chocolate, resembling the famous Samoa cookie.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box brownie mix (13×9 inch size) or homemade brownie recipe
- Ingredients required for the brownie mix (usually eggs, oil, and water)
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for melting chocolate)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions. If using a homemade recipe, prepare your brownie batter as directed.
- Pour the brownie batter into a greased or parchment-lined 9×13 inch baking pan. Bake according to package instructions (usually about 25-30 minutes) or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Spread the shredded coconut on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
- Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10-15 minutes.
- Drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the warm brownies.
- Sprinkle the toasted coconut over the caramel layer, pressing it down gently to adhere.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the coconut layer in a zigzag pattern.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate for about 30 minutes to set the toppings.
- Once set, cut the brownies into squares and serve.
Notes
Toasting the coconut adds flavor and prevents sogginess. Spread caramel while the brownies are warm so it sticks. Chill to make clean cuts.
