Make easy Samoa-flavored brownies using a standard boxed brownie mix as the base, topped with caramel and toasted coconut.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (approx. 18 oz) brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on box)
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for toasting coconut)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the brownie mix box. Grease and line an 8×8 or 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
  2. Prepare the brownie batter according to the package directions, substituting any required water or milk with the liquid specified on the box. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  3. Bake the brownies for the time listed on the box, checking for doneness with a toothpick inserted near the center.
  4. While the brownies bake, toast the coconut. Spread the shredded coconut on a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently until the coconut turns light golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat immediately.
  5. Remove the brownies from the oven when they are almost done (a few moist crumbs should stick to the toothpick).
  6. Immediately drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the hot brownies.
  7. Sprinkle the toasted coconut evenly over the caramel layer.
  8. Place the chocolate chips on top of the coconut layer. Return the pan to the turned-off oven for 2 minutes to soften the chips slightly.
  9. Remove the pan and spread the softened chocolate chips into a thin layer using an offset spatula to create a chocolate drizzle effect.
  10. Let the brownies cool completely before lifting them out of the pan using the parchment overhang and cutting them into squares.

Notes

  • For a chewier brownie, reduce the liquid slightly from what the box calls for.
  • If you prefer a thicker caramel layer, warm the caramel sauce slightly before drizzling.
  • You can toast the coconut in the oven on a baking sheet at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes if preferred.
