Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

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

Toppings

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

Instructions

  1. Cook Brownies: Prepare the brownie mix following the package directions and bake as instructed. Keep the oven on for toasting the coconut in the next step.
  2. Toast Coconut: Spread the shredded coconut evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place it in the oven and toast the coconut, stirring frequently, for about 3 to 5 minutes until evenly browned and fragrant. Remove from oven and let it cool slightly.
  3. Mix Caramel and Coconut: In a bowl, combine the toasted coconut with the caramel ice cream topping, stirring until they are well mixed.
  4. Apply Topping: Evenly spoon the caramel coconut mixture over the top of the cooled brownies, spreading to cover completely.
  5. Drizzle Chocolate: Transfer the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips to a piping bag or a small plastic bag with the corner snipped off. Drizzle the chocolate decoratively over the caramel coconut layer on the brownies.
  6. Chill: Place the brownies in the refrigerator to cool and set the toppings properly, about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  7. Serve: Once chilled, slice the brownies into 16 servings and enjoy the rich and decadent Samoa-inspired treat.

Notes

  • Make sure to watch the coconut closely while toasting as it can burn quickly.
  • If you don’t have a piping bag, use a zip-top bag and snip a very small corner to drizzle the chocolate.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep the caramel and toppings fresh.
  • You can substitute store-bought caramel sauce with homemade caramel if preferred.
