4.6 from 134 reviews

These Easy Samoa Brownies are a delicious twist on classic brownies, topped with toasted coconut, luscious caramel, and a drizzle of melted chocolate. Inspired by the flavors of the popular Samoa cookie, this recipe uses a box brownie mix for convenience and comes together quickly, delivering a gooey, caramel-coconut topping that perfectly complements the rich chocolate base.

Ingredients

Scale

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 the Brownies: Follow the instructions on the brownie mix package to bake the brownies. Bake as directed and keep 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 oven and toast for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often to ensure even browning. Remove from the oven once the coconut is golden brown and allow it to cool slightly.
  3. Combine Caramel and Coconut: In a bowl, stir the toasted coconut together with the caramel ice cream topping until well combined.
  4. Layer the Topping: Evenly spread the caramel-coconut mixture over the freshly baked brownies.
  5. Drizzle with Chocolate: Transfer the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips into a piping bag or a small plastic bag with a snipped corner. Drizzle the chocolate over the caramel coconut layer in a decorative pattern.
  6. Chill: Place the brownies in the refrigerator and chill until completely cooled and the toppings have set.
  7. Serve: Once chilled, slice into squares and serve the decadent Samoa Brownies.

Notes

  • Make sure to watch the coconut carefully while toasting as it can burn quickly.
  • If you don’t have a piping bag, use a zip-top bag with a small corner cut off to drizzle the chocolate.
  • For an extra indulgent touch, use homemade caramel sauce instead of store-bought topping.
  • Store leftover brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
