Instructions

Preheat oven and prepare brownies according to package directions. Bake in a 9×13-inch pan and let cool completely.
Spread shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden. Set aside.
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the caramels with milk or cream, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
Mix the toasted coconut into the caramel mixture until well combined.
Spread the caramel-coconut mixture evenly over the cooled brownies.
Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the caramel-coconut layer.
Let brownies set at room temperature or chill briefly before cutting into squares.

Notes

Use parchment paper in the pan for easy removal and clean cutting.
Substitute homemade brownies if preferred over boxed mix.
Chill slightly before slicing for cleaner edges.
