Ingredients

Scale

Brownies

1 box brownie mix (prepared according to the package directions)

Topping

2 cups shredded coconut
16 ounce bottle caramel ice cream topping
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (melted)

Instructions

Prepare Brownies: Bake the brownies according to the package directions. While the brownies are baking and the oven is still on, proceed to the next step to prepare the topping.
Toast Coconut: Spread the shredded coconut evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the oven and toast the coconut until it is evenly browned, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Cool Coconut: Remove the toasted coconut from the oven and allow it to cool slightly so it is easier to handle and mix.
Combine Topping: In a bowl, add the caramel ice cream topping to the toasted coconut and stir until well combined.
Spread Topping: Spoon the caramel-coconut mixture evenly over the cooked brownies, spreading it out to cover the entire surface.
Drizzle Chocolate: Transfer the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips to a piping bag with the tip snipped off. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel coconut layer in a decorative pattern.
Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the brownies until cooled and set, about 1 hour. Once chilled, slice into squares and serve.

Notes

Use high-quality caramel topping and chocolate for the best flavor.
Toasting the coconut adds a nutty flavor and crunch, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
You can substitute shredded sweetened coconut or unsweetened coconut based on preference.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Allow the brownies to cool fully before adding the topping to prevent melting or sliding.
