Taste of Our Home Tuesday: Samoa Brownies

Yummy, yummy, yummy is all I have to say!!  This is a Pinterest recipe like many of the others.  I used to not enjoy coconut, but have been finding I like it in different things.  I really enjoyed it in these brownies.  The recipe does not say what size of pan.  I believe it's for a 9 x 13.  I made a batch of 8 x 8 brownies and halved the caramel, coconut and chocolate and it worked perfectly.  I would suggest buying a carton of ice cream before baking!  Enjoy! 
Samoa Brownies
Ingredients:

1 brownie mix
3 1/2 cups shredded coconut, toasted
2 (14) oz packages of caramels, unwrapped
1/2 tsp salt
4 TB milk
3 oz. semi-sweet chocolate

Directions:
Prepare brownie mix according to box directions and cool.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and place coconut on baking pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir coconut and cook for another 2-3 minutes until toasted. Watch closely so it doesn't burn.
In a large, microwaveable bowl, add unwrapped caramels, salt, and milk and cook on high for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally (about every 45-60 seconds). Cook until all caramels are melted and smooth.
Add coconut and mix together. Spread over cooled brownies.
Refrigerate 4-5 hours or overnight. Remove at least 1 hour from the fridge before cutting.
Cut into bars and drizzle with melted semi-sweet chocolate. Let chocolate set and enjoy. store in fridge, but remove 20-30 minutes before serving as the caramel will be hard.
