Delicious and easy-to-make Samoa Brownies that combine rich, fudgy brownies with toasted coconut, caramel, and chocolate drizzle to mimic the flavors of the famous Samoa cookie.

Ingredients

Brownie Base

  • 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

  1. Prepare Brownies: Bake the brownies following the package instructions and keep the oven on for the next step.
  2. Toast Coconut: Spread shredded coconut evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet and toast it in the oven, stirring often, until evenly browned, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
  3. Mix Caramel and Coconut: Combine the slightly cooled toasted coconut with the caramel ice cream topping in a bowl and stir to blend well.
  4. Top Brownies: Spread the caramel-coconut mixture evenly over the baked brownies.
  5. Drizzle Chocolate: Place the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips into a piping bag with the tip snipped and drizzle chocolate evenly over the top of the caramel-coconut layer.
  6. Chill the Brownies: Refrigerate the assembled brownies until completely cooled and set, approximately 30 minutes.
  7. Slice and Serve: Cut the brownies into 16 bars and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use unsweetened shredded coconut for a less sweet topping.
  • Be careful not to burn the coconut while toasting; stir frequently and keep a close eye on it.
  • Melt chocolate chips gently using a double boiler or microwave in short intervals to prevent burning.
  • Refrigerating the brownies helps the caramel set and the chocolate to harden for easier slicing.
  • Store leftover brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
