Mounds Brownies \u2013 Ultimate Chocolate Coconut Bars<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Rich, fudgy brownies topped with a sweet coconut layer and finished with smooth chocolate frosting \u2014 inspired by the classic Mounds candy bar!<\/p>\n

Ingredients\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For the Brownie Base<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 1 box brownie mix (9\u00d713 size) plus ingredients called for on box (eggs, oil, water)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    For the Coconut Layer<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • 5 cups shredded coconut<\/li>\n
    • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk<\/li>\n
    • 1 cup powdered sugar (Optional: \u00bd tsp vanilla or coconut extract)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      For the Chocolate Topping<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • 1 container (16 oz) chocolate frosting<\/li>\n
      • 1\u20132 tbsp milk or heavy cream (to thin frosting if needed)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Instructions<\/strong><\/h3>\n
          \n
        1. Bake the Brownies<\/strong>
          \nPrepare and bake the brownie mix in a greased 9\u00d713 pan according to box directions \u2014 bake until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.<\/li>\n
        2. Make the Coconut Layer<\/strong>
          \nIn a bowl, mix shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and powdered sugar until you have a sticky, cohesive mixture.<\/li>\n
        3. Apply the Coconut<\/strong>
          \nAs soon as the brownies come out of the oven while still hot<\/em>, spread the coconut mixture evenly over the entire surface.<\/li>\n
        4. Prepare the Chocolate Topping<\/strong>
          \nHeat the chocolate frosting in a microwave-safe bowl for 20\u201330 sec until pourable (add a splash of milk or cream if needed).<\/li>\n
        5. Finish & Set<\/strong>
          \nPour the warm chocolate over the coconut layer, spreading to cover completely. Allow to cool, then refrigerate for ~1\u20132 hours to set.<\/li>\n
        6. Cut & Serve<\/strong>
          \nSlice into bars and enjoy! For cleaner cuts, warm your knife under hot water and dry between slices.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \u00a0TIPS<\/h3>\n
            \n
          • Apply the coconut while the brownies are hot<\/em> \u2014 the heat helps the layer stick and not slide.<\/li>\n
          • Using sweetened shredded coconut<\/strong> gives the best classic Mounds-bar flavor.<\/li>\n
          • Refrigerate fully before slicing for tidy layers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
