Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 1 (19.50-ounce) box chocolate brownie mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup chocolate milk
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1 cup chocolate chips, divided
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 30 caramels (recommended: Kraft)
  • 2 cups shredded coconut, toasted

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously spray a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, beat the brownie mix with the eggs, chocolate milk, and oil until just combined. Using a spatula, fold in 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Spread into the prepared baking dish and bake until center is barely set, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely.

Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium low heat. Stir in the caramels until completely melted and incorporated into the cream. Remove from the heat and stir in the coconut. Spread in an even layer over the cooled brownies.

Melt the remaining chocolate chips in the microwave at 15 second intervals, stirring between intervals. Drizzle the chocolate in a criss-cross pattern over the coconut topping. Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set before slicing into bars.

Excellent brownies. Don't change a thing, perfect as is.

These were marvelous..I used 1/2 applesauce and 1/2 oil and they came out great!

Next time I would line the pan with foil to make getting them out easier, but other than that this was a great recipe. I added chopped pecans instead of the coconut so they were more like turtle brownies.

I think it would be better without coconut but good!

OMG!!! Love these brownies. The topping reminds me of Carmel delight girl scout cookies. Again yum yummy!!

Extremely great gooey brownies! I have made these twice now and everyone loves them! Much better than plain brownies. I made them exactly how the recipe stated-they turned out awesome. Just remember to put a non stick foil in the pan before you put the brownie mix in-the first time I just sprayed the pan but it still stuck and made it very difficult to get out. The foil solved the problem.

O.M.G. A little piece of heaven and ALL that. Moist, chewy, packed with flavors galore. I too added pecans as a topping and chocolate chips to the batter. Doubles well, great crowd pleaser. Definitely on my top ten list of easy, inexpensive and will keep for at least 7 days on my counter in a glass cake plate with dome lid.

These brownies are absolutely decadent!!! I only used 1 cup of coconut and I was glad that I did. To us that was the perfect amount of coconut. LOVE the caramel and coconut....adds SO MUCH to the brownies. May add pecans to the topping next time. Will be making these again and again!

Yummy, quick and cheap! This recipe really knocked it out of the park. I used Nesquick for the chocolate milk. I was really surpised at how choclately and moist these brownies were. they paired nicely with the coconut and caramel. The pan was gone quickly. Will definitely make these again.
