Preparation

Step 1

For Brownies:
Melt butter and baking sqaures in a microwave safe bowl. In the mixing bowl, cream melted butter and chocolate mixture. Add in sugar and vanilla and beat until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add in eggs, beating one at a time. Add flour and stir just until combined.

Pour into greased 9 x 13 baking dish (I used a 8 x 8 square cake pan). Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until just barely done. Cool before frosting.

For frosting:
Cream butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar gradually and mix. Add in instant pudding mix. Mix until desired consistency, adding milk 1 tablespoon at a time. Frost brownies and top with toasted coconut.
