Preparation

  2. In a bowl, mix the brownie batter using the required eggs, oil, and water until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  3. Fold in the shredded coconut and about 1/2 cup of chocolate chips until just combined.
  4. Spread the batter into the prepared baking dish evenly.
  5. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the batter in random ribbons.
  6. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips and pecans on top, if using.
Baking
  1. Bake according to the brownie mix timing, usually 25-30 minutes, or until the center looks set.
Cooling

Notes

For best results, avoid overmixing the batter and ensure even spreading before drizzling caramel. Let them cool longer than you might think for the best texture.
