Coconut Macaroon Brownies

by 20 Comments


Apparently most of you aren’t quilters. I’m assuming my tutorial yesterday didn’t go over very well because I only got one comment. Thanks Michelle, I always know I can count on you!! You are definitely my BFF!
To sooth my wounded ego, I am sharing something I know you all love. CHOCOLATE! These coconut macaroon brownies are absolutely decadent. Kind of like German chocolate cake inside out. (Although we actually prefer German chocolate brownies.) These were a huge hit at our house, especially with my husband. The gooey coconut middle is divine, and pairs nicely with the chocolate-y brownies. If you like chocolate and coconut, you’ve got to give these a try!
These Coconut Macaroon Brownies are decadent and delicious down to the last bite!

Coconut Macaroon Brownies

3/4 cup melted butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup cocoa
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt

Filling:
4 cups coconut
1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
1 Tbsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt

Mix butter, sugar, vanilla, and cocoa. Whisk in eggs till well blended. Stir in flour and salt. Spread half of batter in greased 9×13″ pan.  Combine all filling ingredients in a mixing bowl. Spread over the brownie batter. Drop remaining batter over filling in spoonfuls, then spread out. Bake at 350° for about 40-45 minutes. (I used a glass pan, so I baked at 325°.)

  5. Ok, I will admit it….I much prefer chocolate to sewing! LOL

    I read your post…but am defintely not a sewer!! I hate the sewing machine….with a passion. I’ve sewn pillows by HAND with a needle and thread rather than pulling at the stupid sewing machine. It’s all about the bobbin!! If someone would do that thing for me, every.single.time, I MIGHT be willing to sew. I stress….might. 😉

    But bake…yummo…I do that often!! Too often! LOL

    • I agree about the bobbin thing. That is always what frustrates me when sewing. And to be honest, sometimes I prefer to sew by hand as well. It’s relaxing to me. 😉

  8. OMGosh- these look mouth wateringly divine! I so want to make these, but I’m the only one in the house that eats coconut. These look soooo good though- I don’t think I can resist them. Guess I better start excercising more!

  9. Oh these do look fantastic….LOVE both chocolate and coconut.
    Somehow I missed your post yesterday, but I too plan to flag this post – great idea!

  11. That’s funny that you thought your last post was a flop because (even though I didn’t comment) I really really liked it. In fact I tagged it so I could use it in my weekend feature post. Its not often that you get to learn a completely new technique on a blog. No, I’m not much of a quilter but I REALLY want to be and if I ever get the guts to try, I will totally tie it this way. So thanks for sharing.

    P.S. I would have notified you of the feature once the post went up, so I guess this will be your shout out. It will probably post tomorrow if you want to check it out.

    P.S.S. These brownie’s look amazing. I love german chocolate so I’m sure I’d love these!

    P.S.S.S I actually featured your hawaiian haystacks last week but can’t remember if I told you. Hummmm… brain fart. Anyway, you can check that out too if you want.

    Love you!
