Ingredients

• 2 cups sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 1/2 tsp. Vanilla
• 1/2 cup cocoa
• 1 1/3 cups flour
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips

• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups fresh flaked coconut

Preparation

Step 1

For the Brownies: Cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs and blend well. Add vanilla, salt, cocoa and flour. Don’t overbeat. Pour into a greased 9X13 pan.

Bake at 350 F for 20-25 minutes. Let cool.

For the 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.

Place whole pecan pieces on top of brownies. Melt the caramel and chocolate separately and drizzle over top of brownies.

You may want to place in the refrigerator to harden.
