Mounds Brownies

  • Author: Lusine Svetlana

Description

Are you craving a decadent dessert that combines the chewy goodness of brownies with the rich, sweet flavors of coconut and chocolate? Look no further than these Mounds Brownies! Inspired by the classic Mounds candy bar, this recipe transforms a simple brownie mix into an irresistible treat that’s perfect for any occasion. With layers of shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and a smooth chocolate frosting, these brownies are sure to become a favorite in your dessert repertoire.

Ingredients

  • 1 box brownie mix (9x13 size), mixed and baked according to box directions
  • 5 cups shredded coconut
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 container chocolate frosting (microwaved just long enough to make it pourable)

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Bake Brownies: Follow the instructions on the brownie mix box to prepare and bake the brownies in a 9×13 inch pan. Allow them to cool slightly after baking.
  2. Make Coconut Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and powdered sugar. Mix until well combined.
  3. Spread Coconut Mixture: While the brownies are still warm, evenly spread the coconut mixture over the top of the brownies. The warmth of the brownies will help the mixture adhere better.
  4. Add Chocolate Frosting: Microwave the chocolate frosting just until it becomes pourable. Pour the melted frosting over the coconut layer, spreading it out to cover the entire surface and seal the edges.
  5. Cool and Set: Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting into squares. This will help the layers set properly and make it easier to cut clean pieces.

Notes

Serving Tips:

  1. Cool Completely: Ensure that the brownies are completely cooled before cutting to prevent the layers from smudging and to achieve clean, neat squares.
  2. Cutting: Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to slice the brownies into squares. For cleaner cuts, you can lightly oil the knife or cut through parchment paper.
  3. Garnishing: Consider garnishing with a sprinkle of extra shredded coconut or a drizzle of additional melted chocolate for a decorative touch.
  4. Serving Temperature: Serve the brownies at room temperature for the best texture. If you prefer them slightly warm, microwave them for a few seconds before serving.
  5. Accompaniments: Pair the brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Storage Tips:

  1. Room Temperature: Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4-5 days. This will keep them fresh and maintain their texture.
  2. Refrigeration: For longer storage, you can refrigerate the brownies. Place them in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. They will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  3. Freezing: To freeze, cut the brownies into squares and place them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Freeze until solid, then transfer to an airtight container or freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw them at room temperature or microwave for a few seconds.
  4. Avoid Overlapping: When storing brownies, avoid stacking them on top of each other to prevent the layers from sticking together. Use parchment paper between layers if necessary.
