Ingredients: 30.5 oz brownie mix ((2 boxes, I used Hershey’s double chunk)); 1 1/2 cups caramel craft bits; 3 egg yolks; 1 cup sugar; 1 cup evaporated milk; 1/2 cup butter ((or margarine) ); 1 tsp vanilla; 1 1/2 cups flaked coconut ((make sure it's fresh) ); 1 cup pecans ((chopped))

So I came up with the most AMAZING brownie recipe a few weeks ago, I just had to share! German Chocolate BROWNIES! My family loves German chocolate cake.I love it too… BUT only because of the frosting! The frosting is DIVINE! I eat it by the spoonful’s (I probably shouldn’t admit that). ;) I’m really not the biggest cake lover…but brownies, those are a whole different story! So I decided to combine my love of brownies, chocolate, caramel and coconut frosting to create these little naughty brownies. They are super rich and full of chocolate goodness! Trust me, you’ll want to file this one away!

All you need for this recipe to start it a box of brownie mix and caramel bits. Then you’ll bake brownies according to package and allow to cool. Next you’ll melt caramel bits in microwave for 1 minute and then drizzle over brownies. Then you’ll top with the most amazing german chocolate coconut frosting. MMM… I can (and do) eat that stuff by the spoon!

I’m the brownie making queen in our family and I’m always looking for a great new brownie recipe and I can tell you – THIS IS IT. We like the chewy texture of the brownie and the melted caramel on top makes it even better. I follow the recipe exactly and they turn out perfect every time.

These are amazing! The frosting is definitely a labor of love but worth it in the end. It took me 40-50 minutes on medium heat to get the frosting to a thicker consistency, so don’t give up on it! I will make these again!
