Preparation

Step 1

1. Bake Brownies according to package. Allow to cool.
2. Melt chocolate chips in microwave for 1 minute and drizzle with a spoon over brownies.
3. Melt caramel bits in microwave for 1 minute and drizzle over chocolate.

Frosting
Combine egg yolks, sugar, milk, butter, and vanilla in a large saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened, about 12 minutes ( Make sure to stir consistently for at least 10 min). Add coconut and pecans. Beat until thick enough to spread. Pour over top of brownies. You may want to place in the refrigerator to harden.
