Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 7

one 20-ounce box brownie mix, plus ingredients called for to make the brownies
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup butterscotch or peanut butter chips
1/2 cup toffee bits
about 3/4 of a 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup M&Ms

Steps:

  • Please read over the baking notes below for tips before beginning the recipe.
  • Preheat oven to 325F (or 350F is that's what's called for on your box of brownie mix), line a 9x9-inch pan with foil for easier cleanup, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
  • Mix up the brownie batter according to the ingredients called for on the package (egg(s), oil, water), turn the batter out into prepared pan, and bake for about 30 minutes, or until brownies are about 90% cooked through, but not completely since they are going back into the oven again for approximately 30 more minutes.
  • Evenly sprinkle the brownies with the coconut, chocolate chips, butterscotch or peanut butter chips, toffee bits, and evenly drizzle with sweetened condensed milk.
  • Return the pan to the oven, turn oven temp to 325F if it wasn't already there, and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the top is becoming lightly golden browned and the sweetened condensed milk is not pooling.
  • Return the pan from the oven, even sprinkle with the M&Ms, and bake for about 5 to 10 more minutes, or until the top is as golden browned and set as desired.
  • Cool brownies in the pan for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.

Time 3h55m

Yield 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 19

Vegetable oil cooking spray
One 21-ounce box brownie mix, such as Duncan Hines Chewy Fudge
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
3/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, such as Ghiradelli, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, such as Nestle Toll House
1 1/4 cups chopped walnuts
Three 9.5-ounce bags soft caramel candies (about 90 caramels), such as Kraft Classic Caramels, unwrapped
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray two 9-by-13-inch ceramic or glass baking dishes with vegetable oil cooking spray. Line each dish with a 15-inch-square piece of parchment paper, allowing the excess paper to overhang the sides. Spay the parchment paper with vegetable oil cooking spray.
  • For the brownie layer: In a large bowl, blend together the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, 1/4 cup water and espresso powder. Using an electric hand mixer, beat for 1 minute on medium speed. Pour the batter into one of the prepared baking dishes. Sprinkle with the coconut and bake until a toothpick inserted about 1-inch from the edge of the baking dish comes out clean, 25 to 27 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool for 1 hour. Using the excess paper as handles, lift the brownie layer from the pan. Run a thin spatula underneath the brownie layer to loosen it from the parchment paper. Set aside. For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine the bittersweet chocolate and butter. Place the bowl over a pan of barely simmering water and stir occasionally until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
  • In another medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, 2 tablespoons water and vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients and stir until thick and smooth. Fold in the melted chocolate. Stir in the chocolate chips. Using fingers, press the dough evenly into the bottom of the remaining baking dish. Bake until light golden, 14 to 16 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes. Sprinkle the walnuts over the crust.
  • For the caramel: In a medium, heavy saucepan, combine the caramel candies, 2 tablespoons water and vanilla extract over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the candies have melted and the mixture is smooth, about 10 minutes. Pour the caramel evenly over the crust. Working quickly, place the brownie layer on top of the caramel. Gently press the brownie layer into the caramel. Refrigerate for 1 hour until the caramel has set. Allow the layers to come to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Cut into 24 bars and store airtight in a plastic container.

Yield 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 20

Vegetable-oil cooking spray
One 21-ounce box brownie mix, such as Duncan Hines Chewy Fudge
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
3 large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, at room temperature
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/4 cups chopped walnuts
Three 9.5-ounce bags soft caramel candies (about 90 caramels), such as Kraft Classic
Caramels, unwrapped
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray two 13 by 9-inch glass or ceramic baking dishes with cooking spray. Line each dish with a 15-inch-square piece of parchment paper, allowing the excess to overhang the sides. Spray the parchment with cooking spray.
  • For the brownie layer: In a large bowl, blend together the brownie mix, vegetable oil, 1/4 cup water, espresso powder and eggs. Using a hand mixer, beat for 1 minute on medium speed. Pour the batter into one of the prepared pans. Sprinkle with the coconut and bake until a toothpick inserted about 1 inch from the edge of the baking dish comes out clean, 25 to 27 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool for 1 hour.
  • Using the excess parchment paper as handles, lift the brownie layer from the pan. Run a thin spatula underneath to loosen it from the parchment paper. Keep the oven on.
  • For the cookie layer: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugars in a large bowl until fluffy. Beat in the vanilla and egg. Add the flour mixture and beat until a dough forms. Stir in the chocolate chips. Using your fingers, press the dough evenly into the bottom of the other prepared baking dish, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Bake until light golden, 14 to 16 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool for 30 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the walnuts over the crust.
  • For the caramel: In a medium, heavy saucepan, combine the caramel candies, 2 tablespoons water and vanilla over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the candies have melted and the mixture is smooth, about 10 minutes. Pour the caramel evenly over the cookie layer. Working quickly, place the brownie layer on top of the caramel. Gently press the brownie layer into the caramel. Refrigerate for 1 hour until the caramel has set. Allow the layers to come to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Cut into 24 bars and store airtight in a plastic container.
