Delicious Coconut Filled Brownie Bars Recipes

CHOCOLATE COCONUT MOUNDS BAR BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8×8-inch pan with aluminum foil leaving overhang, spray with cooking spray; set aside. It's mandatory to line your pan or you'll never get the brownies out.
• In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate, butter, and heat on high power to melt, about 1 minute. Stop to check and stir. Reheat in 15-second bursts until mixture can be stirred smooth.
• Add the eggs, sugar, vanilla, optional coffee, optional espresso granules, and whisk until smooth. Coffee and espresso don't make the brownies taste like coffee; they enhance the chocolate flavor.
• Add the flour and stir until just combined; don't overmix.
• Turn batter out into prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula and bake until brownies are just set and done, about 28 minutes in my oven. Start checking at 25 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. Don't overbake because brownies go back into the oven after they're topped with coconut.
• While brownies are baking, in a large bowl (the same one you used for the brownies is fine, just wipe it clean with a paper towel) combine the coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and toss to coat evenly; set aside until brownies come out of oven.
• When brownies are done and removed from the oven, evenly top with the coconut mixture. Smooth the top lightly with a spatula, pushing mixture gentle into all corners.
• Evenly sprinkle with chocolate chips.
• Return pan to oven and bake for 5 minutes.
• Remove pan from oven and using a spatula, lightly smooth the chocolate chips. They will be have softened enough to smooth out when pressed lightly with a spatula.
• Place pan on a wire rack and allow to cool, undisturbed, for at least 2 to 3 hours, or until top chocolate layer has set; allowing to cool overnight is best.
• When ready to serve, lift brownies of pan using foil overhang, place on a large cutting board, and slice with your biggest and sharpest knife. Slicing is messy, but the longer brownies cool, the easier and less messy it is.

BLACK-BOTTOM COCONUT BARS

Steps:

• For chocolate base: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving a slight overhang; butter bottom and sides of foil (not overhang).
• Place butter in a large microwave-safe bowl; melt in microwave. Add sugar and salt; whisk to combine. Whisk in egg, then cocoa and flour until smooth. Spread batter in prepared pan.
• Bake just until sides begin to pull away from edges of pan, 10 to 15 minutes (do not overbake). Let cool slightly while preparing coconut topping. Keep oven on for topping.
• For coconut topping: In a medium bowl, whisk eggs with sugar and vanilla. Gently mix in flour and coconut (except 1/2 cup reserved for sprinkling).
• Drop mounds of mixture over chocolate base; spread and pat in gently and evenly with moistened fingers. Sprinkle with reserved 1/2 cup coconut.
• Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely in pan. Lift cake from pan, peel off foil, and cut into 24 bars.

DELICIOUS COCONUT FILLED BROWNIE BARS

Steps:

• Set oven to 350°F.
• Grease an 11 x 7-inch baking pan, then fit with parchment paper to overhang on sides to lift out the brownies after baking.
• To make the coconut mixture, in a medium bowl, stir all coconut ingredients together with a fork (I use my hands to mix this); mix until "pasty".
• In another bowl, stir together butter and sugar.
• Add in eggs and vanilla; mix well to combine.
• Sift together flour, baking soda and salt, add to the creamed mixture; mix well with a wooden spoon to combine.
• Pour about 2/3 of the brownie mixture into the pan.
• Top with all of the coconut mixture, spreading as evenly as possible.
• Top with spoonfuls of the remaining brownie mixture.
• Sprinkle 1-1/2 cups mini chocolate chips over top of batter (do not mix in).
• Bake for about 30-35 minutes.
• Reduce oven heat to 325°F for the final 10 minutes of baking.
• Cool and refrigerate for about an hour.
• Lift out the brownie from the pan lifting out with the overlapping parchment paper.
• Cut into squares.
• Delicious!
