Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1 box brownie mix (prepared according to package directions)

Toppings

  • 2 cups shredded coconut
  • 16 ounce bottle caramel ice cream topping
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (melted)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownies: Cook the brownies according to the package directions and keep the oven on for the next step.
  2. Toast the Coconut: Spread the shredded coconut evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place it in the oven and toast for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the coconut is evenly browned.
  3. Cool the Coconut: Remove the toasted coconut from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
  4. Mix Coconut and Caramel: Stir the caramel topping into the toasted coconut until well combined.
  5. Top the Brownies: Spoon the caramel-coconut mixture evenly over the cooked brownies.
  6. Drizzle with Chocolate: Transfer the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips into a piping bag with the tip snipped off. Drizzle the chocolate decoratively over the coconut layer on the brownies.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the brownies until the topping is set and the dessert is cooled through.
  8. Serve: Slice into squares and enjoy your decadent Samoa Brownies.

Notes

  • Be careful when toasting coconut as it can burn quickly; stir often and watch closely.
  • You can use homemade caramel sauce instead of store-bought caramel topping for a richer flavor.
  • Melt chocolate chips gently in a microwave or double boiler to avoid burning.
  • Store refrigerated leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
