Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients (Brownie Base):
- 1 box brownie mix (for a 9×13-inch pan)
- Ingredients listed on the brownie mix package (or homemade brownie recipe ingredients)
Topping Ingredients:
- 2 cups (473 milliliters) shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 (11 ounces/312 grams) bag caramel bits or soft caramel candies
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) milk or heavy cream
Chocolate Drizzle:
- ½ cup (85 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Craft the foundation by preparing the brownie batter according to package guidelines, utilizing a 9×13-inch baking vessel. Carefully transfer the mixture and bake until perfectly set, then allow to cool completely at room temperature.
- Transform the shredded coconut into a golden delight by distributing it evenly across a baking sheet. Roast within a preheated oven, carefully monitoring and stirring midway to achieve a rich, toasted amber hue without scorching.
- Create a silky caramel base by gently combining caramel bits with milk in a microwave-safe container. Heat in short intervals, stirring between each session, until the mixture becomes a smooth, luxurious liquid.
- Merge the toasted coconut with the molten caramel, ensuring a thorough and even integration. Generously spread this decadent mixture across the cooled brownie surface, creating a uniform layer that promises indulgent texture and flavor.
- Elevate the dessert by melting chocolate chips in short microwave bursts, stirring until achieving a glossy, fluid consistency. Artfully drizzle the chocolate across the caramel-coconut landscape, creating an intricate pattern.
- Allow the brownies to set and solidify, either at ambient temperature or within the refrigerator’s cool embrace. Once stabilized, slice into precise squares, revealing the layers of delectable complexity, and savor each extraordinary bite.
Notes
- Carefully monitor coconut while toasting to prevent burning, as it can quickly turn from golden to charred.
- Use unsweetened shredded coconut for a less sweet and more natural flavor profile in the topping.
- For gluten-free version, select a gluten-free brownie mix or make brownies from scratch using alternative flour like almond or coconut flour.
- Create dairy-free variation by substituting milk with coconut milk or almond milk when melting caramel, ensuring similar creamy consistency.
