mounds brownies

I love Mounds (and Almond Joy!) and I LOVE brownies…  so putting them together was bound to happen eventually!

Mounds Brownies

box brownie mix

butter (melted)

white sugar

vanilla extract

eggs

all-purpose flour

salt

cocoa powder

chocolate chips

milk

coconut

sugar

heavy cream

butter

Prepare brownies according to box directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.. Lightly grease a 9×9 pan.

In a large bowl, combine the butter, sugar, &amp; vanilla. Beat in the eggs.

Combine flour, cocoa powder, &amp; salt. Add a little at time to the egg mixture just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips and pour into prepared pan.

Bake about 22-26 minutes or just until done (do not over bake). Remove and cool.

Combine sweetened condensed milk, coconut and powdered sugar in a bowl until well mixed. Spread over cooled brownies.

Mounds Coconut Layer

Bring heavy cream and butter just to a boil. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit 4 minutes without stirring. Stir until completely combined.

Pour over the coconut layer. Let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes (this keeps the topping shiny). Refrigerate to set.

Topping

Rich, indulgent, and irresistibly decadent, these easy, fudgy Mounds brownies are the ultimate dessert for chocolate and coconut lovers.

brown sugar

butter, melted and cooled

espresso powder

baking powder

(14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

coconut flakes

heavy whipping cream

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper.

Make the Brownies: In a large bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until slightly thickened and pale. Slowly pour in the melted butter, followed by the vanilla, until smooth and well combined.

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until about halfway combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix just until no streaks of flour remain.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are firm and the top is crackly. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.

Make the Coconut Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk the sweetened condensed milk and powdered sugar until smooth. Stir in the coconut until well combined.

Spread the coconut mixture evenly over the cooled brownies. Pat gently to ensure a firm layer, and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.

Make the Topping: In a medium saucepan over low heat (or microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals), heat the heavy cream and butter until hot but not scalding.

Remove the pot from the heat and add the chocolate chips. Stir well, then let sit for 3–4 minutes without stirring. Whisk well until smooth and glossy, and set aside to cool for 5 minutes.

Pour the chocolate topping over the coconut layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Set aside to cool for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours to set completely.

Use the parchment paper to lift the dessert from the pan. Slice into squares and serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!

I have always wondered why I never saw an Almond Joy Cake or Bars recipe now I know why this is so Delicious that it should be against the law!! I'm so glad I ran across this recipe. If you like Almond Joy or Mounds candy bars then you will Love this.

Can I use sweetened condensed coconut milk for this. I have some already for my holiday Coquito!

Sounds perfectly amazing...what would work as a substitution for someone who abhors coconut? Would it work with Caramel instead? Your brownie is perfect, it’s the middle layer that’s giving me trouble.

Can’t eat enough of these. My family has a new go to snack. I also put individual portions into ziplock freezer snack bags and put them in the freezer.

5 cups of coconut @$3.50 a bag is ridiculous. I used one bag!

Looks really good!  Will be trying recipe very soon!

They looked so good it was hard to let them chill for the one to two hours. Chocolately, soft, and gooey! Each layer was delicious. Used a small packet of instant decaf granules since that's what was on hand. It adds that little touch of mocha flavor.

I have been looking for a recipe for my BIL's birthday
Looks like I have found it as he is crazy about chocolate and coconut
Thank you!!

I made these for an Easter potluck meal.  They were a huge hit. 
So yummy, and very decadent I will definitely make these for any event I am going to. THANK YOU
