Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

Brownie Layer:

  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1/2 cup baking cocoa
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 cup chocolate syrup, Hershey's
  • 2 cups flour

Coconut and Almond Layer:

  • 3 cups coconut, shredded and sweetened
  • 3 egg whites, beaten
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 cup almonds, roughly chopped
  • more chocolate syrup for drizzling

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time. Then add the oil, cocoa and vanilla. Beat on low speed until combined. Now add the chocolate syrup and blend well.
  • Add the flour one cup at a time and beat for another two minutes. Batter will be thick and fluffy. Spray your baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the batter into a 11x17-inch baking pan with a lip. (A 10x15 jelly roll pan will also work, brownies will just be a bit thicker and may need to bake for an extra 5 minutes.) Spread the batter as evenly as possible to cover the whole pan.

  • Bake the brownies for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. While the brownies are baking, prepare the coconut and almond layer. In a medium bowl, combine ingredients, except for chocolate syrup, for the coconut layer. Stir to mix well.
  • Remove brownies from the oven after 20 minutes and top with the coconut and almond mixture. Sprinkle it evenly over the brownie layer and spread to the edges with a fork.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees. Put the brownies back in the oven and bake for another 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool. Once cooled, drizzle more chocolate syrup across the top of the brownies. Recipe makes 36 bars.
