Mounds Bars Brownies

Servings 12 brownies

Ingredients

For the Brownies

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate cocoa powder (or regular unsweetened cocoa powder will work)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips

For the Coconut Topping

  • 2 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut flakes
  • 1 12 oz can of sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 1/2 cups dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8" x 8" baking pan with parchment paper, or line with foil and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.

    Melt the butter in a microwave safe dish. Add the sugar, eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Then, add in the flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder to the bowl, stirring until well-combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

    Spread the batter evenly in the baking pan. Bake for about 23 minutes; the brownies will be slightly under done but they will be going back in the oven for a few more minutes.

    As the brownies are baking, combine the coconut flakes and sweetened condensed milk in a bowl. When the brownies are done and removed from the oven, top them with the coconut mixture, spreading with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle the coconut mixture with chocolate chips. Return the pan to the oven for 5 minutes. 

    Remove the pan from the oven once more, and use a rubber spatula to spread the chocolate around the top of the brownies. Allow the brownies to cool for at least 2 hours at room temperature, or put the pan in the fridge for about 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens. Cut, serve and enjoy!
