Ingredients

• TOPPING:
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup baking cocoa
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold butter

• 7 ounces flaked coconut
• 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Cut in butter until crumbly. Beat in eggs. Spread in a greased 13x9-inch baking pan.

Bake at 350°F for 8 minutes. Sprinkle coconut over crust; drizzle with milk. Bake 20-25 minutes longer or until lightly browned.

Meanwhile in a microwave, melt chocolate chips and peanut butter; stir until smooth. Spread over brownies. Cool on wire rack. Cut into bars.
