Description
Indulgent Samoa Brownies featuring a rich chocolate base, gooey caramel, and toasted coconut for a delightful treat reminiscent of Girl Scout cookies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups toasted coconut
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan generously with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, then stir in the granulated sugar until fully combined and smooth.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring they’re well mixed before adding the next one. Stir in the vanilla extract until incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix this dry blend into the wet ingredients until just combined—be careful not to overmix.
- Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared pan, smoothing the top for a beautiful finish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool slightly in the pan.
- Drizzle a generous layer of caramel sauce over the still-warm brownies, and then sprinkle toasted coconut evenly across the top.
- Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the coconut layer, creating tempting swirls.
- Allow the brownies to set at room temperature or in the fridge before cutting them into squares. Enjoy your Samoa-inspired treat!
Notes
For added texture, consider mixing in nuts or experimenting with different chocolates. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or in the fridge for a week.
