Easy Samoa Brownies Recipe

4.4 from 147 reviews

Delightfully rich and sweet, these Easy Samoa Brownies combine fudgy brownie base with toasted coconut, luscious caramel topping, and a drizzle of melted chocolate for a decadent treat inspired by the classic Samoa cookie flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

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

Toppings

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare Brownies: Follow the package directions to bake the brownies. Cook them fully and leave the oven on for the next step.
  2. Toast the Coconut: Spread the shredded coconut evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place it in the warm oven and toast, stirring often, for 3 to 5 minutes or until the coconut turns an even golden brown. Remove and allow to cool slightly.
  3. Mix Coconut with Caramel: In a bowl, combine the toasted coconut with the caramel ice cream topping until fully incorporated.
  4. Top Brownies: Spread the caramel-coconut mixture evenly over the baked brownies to form a generous layer.
  5. Chocolate Drizzle: Transfer the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips into a piping bag, snip off a small corner, and drizzle the chocolate decoratively over the caramel-coated brownies.
  6. Chill: Place the brownies in the refrigerator until completely cooled and the toppings have set, approximately 1 hour.
  7. Serve: Slice the brownies into squares and serve chilled for a deliciously gooey and crunchy dessert.

Notes

  • To ensure even toasting, stir the coconut frequently while in the oven to prevent burning.
  • If you don’t have parchment paper, use a silicone baking mat for toasting coconut.
  • Melt the chocolate chips gently over a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave to avoid burning.
  • Refrigerating the brownies before slicing helps them hold their shape and makes cutting cleaner.
  • You can substitute caramel ice cream topping with homemade caramel sauce if preferred.
