Method
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Spread coconut on a baking sheet and toast for 10-15 mins, stirring often, until golden. Set aside.
- Increase oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well, then stir in vanilla.
- Fold in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined. Pour into the prepared pan and bake 20-25 minutes. Let cool completely.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt unwrapped caramels and heavy cream in 30-second intervals until smooth.
- Reserve 1/4 of the caramel and spread it thinly over the cooled brownies. Mix the remaining caramel with the toasted coconut.
- Press the caramel-coconut mixture firmly and evenly over the top of the brownies.
- Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave until smooth. Drizzle thickly over the coconut layer.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour until set before cutting into squares.
Notes
To cut clean squares, run a large knife under very hot water, dry it off completely, and press down firmly. Wipe the blade clean between every cut.
