Ingredients
for the brownies
- 1 recipe of the Best Brownies
for the coconut caramel
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temp, cut into tablespoons
- 1/2 cup heavy cream, room temp
- 2 1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
for the chocolate drizzle
- 1/4 cup chopped bittersweet chocolate
Instructions
- Prepare the brownies according to the directions and allow to cool.
- While the brownies cool, make the coconut caramel. In a medium saucepan, heat the sugar on medium heat for about 5 minutes. Use a spatula to occasionally stir the sugar, getting to the bottom of the pan. At first the sugar will be lumpy, but will soon melt and start turning a brownish color. Don’t stir too often, just enough to keep everything evenly cooking.
- After 5 minutes, the sugar should become fully melted. Once it becomes an amber hue, remove from heat immediately and stir in butter. The mixture will violently bubble. You’re doing it right.
- Use your spatula to stir the butter and sugar until they melt together completely. This can take 1-2 minutes.
- Next, pour in the heavy cream and sea salt. You can use 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons, depending on how much saltiness you like. Use your spatula to stir until everything is combined. Place back on the stove for about 30 seconds, stirring the whole time. Remove from heat. Stir in coconut flakes. Set aside until brownies are completely cooled.
- Run a knife along the edges so they don’t stick to the pan. Spread the coconut caramel on top of the brownies. Again, run a knife along the edges to prevent anything from sticking to the pan.
- Heat the chocolate for the drizzle in a microwave-safe bowl in 30 second increments.
- Spoon melted chocolate into a small ziplock bag, creating a makeshift pastry bag. Cut a small (tiny!) slit at the bottom corner of the bag. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the coconut caramel. Set in the fridge to cool for about 1 hour. Cut into 9 brownies and serve!

Just made these and they turned out great! Wish I could post a pic. Mine didn’t turn out the prettiest but they are yummy!
I love love your red wine brownies so I’m always willing to try one of your brownie recipes. These were much too sweet for my taste though. The brownies alone were too sweet and not enough chocolate flavor and then the caramel topping just upped the sweetness. I cut my pan into 16 and then ate half of one and it was intense! I thoroughly enjoyed the process of making them, I think this one just isn’t for me.
Oh no! Did you use the new recipe for the Best Brownies ever or the original recipe that was posted awhile ago? This new recipe is much less sweet! So sorry about this Jenn! Keep on with the red wine brownies 🙂
I used the link from this recipe. But I will say that I made these for the ladies at the front office of my kids’ elementary school because I’ve come in every Wednesday this whole year to pick up my son’s cello after his strings class. I see them so much I just wanted to make them an end of year something! So I tasted them (I taste everything I bake. It’s, um, quality control…) and they were a bit much for me, like I said. Anyway, the ladies at the school RAVED about them. I told them they almost didn’t have the caramel topping because I messed it up twice and they said “it was WORTH IT!” So there you have it. Keep up the good work!!
We were so confused as to how some days there are a lot of comments, and some days only a couple! Now it makes sense seeing that you guys are updating really old posts with new photos and content to keep the comments looking high. Super smart tactic! And love seeing the updates to old favorites! XOXO
These were fantastic! The recipe was straightforward and easy to follow and the brownies came out great. I made them for a few friends and they were all raving about them. The only complaint I have (and it might be personal) is I found the brownies to be very dense and fudgey, when I prefer a more flaky brownie. They tasted delicious but the density kept me from eating more than one because they were so decadent. The caramel was outstanding! I want to make just a tub of this to have on hand! Thank you for sharing your fabulous recipes!
