Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Brownies:
  • 2 boxes brownie mix
  • 4 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14-ounce
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Baking pan (9x13 inch)
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Oven mitts

Method
 

Preparation Steps:
  1. Step 1: Preheat the Oven - Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your brownies bake evenly.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Baking Pan - Grease your 9x13 inch baking pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
  3. Step 3: Mix the Brownie Batter - In a large mixing bowl, combine the two boxes of brownie mix with the ingredients listed on the back of the box. Usually, this will include water, oil, and eggs. Stir until well combined and smooth.
  4. Step 4: Pour the Brownie Batter - Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
  5. Step 5: Prepare the Macaroon Layer - In another bowl, mix together the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and mini chocolate chips until fully combined.
  6. Step 6: Add the Macaroon Topping - Spoon the coconut mixture over the brownie batter, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Don’t worry if it doesn’t cover the brownie layer completely; it will spread as it bakes.
  7. Step 7: Bake - Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the macaroon layer is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the brownie layer comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Step 8: Cool and Serve - Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before cutting into squares. Enjoy your delicious Easy Macaroon Brownies!

Notes

  • For a lighter version, use a low-fat brownie mix.
  • Freeze individual squares for up to 3 months for a quick treat.
  • Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even results.
