Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box brownie mix (for a 9×13-inch pan)
- Ingredients as listed on the brownie mix package (or homemade brownie recipe ingredients)
- ½ cup (85 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups (473 ml) shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 bag (11 oz/312 g) caramel bits or soft caramel candies
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) milk or heavy cream
Instructions
- Brownie Base: Prepare brownie batter following package instructions, spreading evenly into a 9×13-inch pan. Bake according to package directions until set, then cool completely at room temperature.
- Coconut Transformation: Spread shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast in a 350°F oven, stirring midway to ensure uniform golden-brown coloration without burning. Remove when achieving a rich, amber tone.
- Caramel Fusion: Combine caramel bits and milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until a smooth, pourable consistency is reached. Incorporate toasted coconut thoroughly into the caramel mixture.
- Layer Creation: Spread the caramel-coconut blend uniformly across the cooled brownie surface, ensuring complete and even coverage for maximum flavor integration.
- Chocolate Finale: Melt chocolate chips in short microwave bursts, stirring until achieving a glossy liquid state. Drizzle artfully over the caramel-coconut layer, creating an elegant chocolate pattern.
- Setting and Serving: Allow brownies to stabilize at room temperature or in the refrigerator until chocolate and caramel layers are set. Slice into precise squares and indulge in the multilayered dessert experience.
Notes
- Prevent Coconut Burning: Stir toasted coconut every 2-3 minutes to ensure even, golden-brown color without charring, watching closely during the roasting process.
- Manage Caramel Consistency: Microwave caramel in 15-second increments, stirring between each interval to prevent overheating and maintain a smooth, pourable texture.
- Control Chocolate Drizzling: Melt chocolate chips gradually in short 10-second bursts, stirring thoroughly to prevent seizing and achieve a silky, drizzle-friendly consistency.
- Cooling Technique: Allow brownies to cool completely at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before cutting to ensure clean, precise squares and optimal layer setting.
