If you love the rich decadence of fudgy brownies and the irresistible combo of chocolate + coconut, this dessert will become your ultimate guilty pleasure. These Mounds Brownies taste just like the candy bar but better — thick, gooey, and layered with sweet coconut bliss. Perfect for potlucks, holidays, or sneaky midnight bites! 😋
📝 Ingredients
For the Brownie Layer:
- 1 box fudge brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box – usually oil, water & eggs)
For the Coconut Layer:
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
For the Chocolate Topping:
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup heavy cream
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2️⃣ Prepare the brownie batter according to the box instructions. Pour it into the prepared pan and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until mostly set but still slightly gooey.
3️⃣ In a small bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk and shredded coconut. Pour over the slightly baked brownies and spread evenly.
4️⃣ Return to the oven and bake for another 15–20 minutes, until the coconut layer is golden around the edges.
5️⃣ While baking, melt chocolate chips with heavy cream over low heat or in the microwave (30-second bursts, stirring in between) until smooth.
6️⃣ Once brownies are done, pour the chocolate topping over the warm coconut layer and spread gently.
7️⃣ Let cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
8️⃣ Slice, serve, and prepare to fall in love. 💘
