Why We Love This Recipe

These brownies are ooey-gooey chewie and delicious and they taste just like those famous Girl Scout Cookies. 

When it comes to Girl Scout cookies, I really have to monitor myself. I could easily finish off an entire box of Samoas and Thin Mints in one sitting. If you’re counting – that’s two boxes of cookies.

Ingredients Caramel Coconut Samoa Brownies

  • Boxed Brownie Mix – have you noticed how many different types of boxed brownies there are now? Sometimes, it’s hard to choose. For this recipe I used a chewy fudge brownie. 
  • Toasted Coconut – I used shredded sweet coconut and toasted it in my oven. See below on how to toast a large amount of shredded coconut. 
  • Salted Caramel Sauce – I love the taste of salted caramel. I used a store-bought jar of salted caramel sauce that is usually found near the ice cream at the grocery store. Of course, you can always use homemade sauce if you’d like. 
  • Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips – You can substitute milk chocolate if you’d like.

How to Toast a Large Batch of Coconut

I usually toast coconut in a small frying pan on the stovetop. But for this recipe I used 3 cups of coconut which is too much to toast in a large skillet. 

  • Preheat oven to 350°
  • Spread the sweetened coconut out on a large cookie sheet. 
  • Put the coconut into the oven for 5 minutes, stirred it, and cooked it again for another 5 minutes. Of course, all ovens are different so it may take a little less or a little more. Look for that golden brown color. 
  • Watch it very carefully as the coconut can burn quickly once it starts to brown. 
  • Cooled it completely before spreading it on the brownies. 

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

  • I use a large 12″ x 17″ cookie sheet to make the brownies because I don’t want them too thick. Of course, the cooking time is much less and these need to bake for only 11 minutes. 
  • Microwave the caramel sauce to make it easier to drizzle. 
  • Store these in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Samoa Brownies are easy to freeze. Freeze in batches of four. Place a small piece of parchment paper on top of 4 brownies and stack them on top of each other so there is a parchment paper piece between each brownie. Wrap them in plastic wrap and place them in a ziptop bag. Freeze for 1-2 months. We like to eat these frozen with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Ingredients 

  • 1 boxed brownie mix and the ingredients listed on the box
  • 3 cups sweetened coconut – toasted
  • 1/2 11.5- ounce jar of salted caramel sauce
  • 1 bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°
  • Prepare the brownies per the box instructions and pour the batter into a 12″ x 17″ large cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 11 minutes.
  • Turn oven off.
  • Remove the brownies from the oven and sprinkle the bag of chocolate chips evenly across the top of the hot brownies.
  • Return the cookie sheet to the oven (while the oven is turned off) for 3-5 minutes while the chocolate chips melt. It’s fine if there are still visible pieces of the chips.
  • Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely.
  • Microwave the caramel sauce for 20 seconds.
  • Top the chocolate covered brownies with the cooled toasted coconut.
  • Drizzle the caramel sauce over the coconut.
