Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar until well mixed and smooth.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until no lumps remain.
  6. Spread the brownie mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  2. While the brownies are baking, spread shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown.
  3. Remove and set aside to cool.
Topping
  1. In a medium saucepan, gently heat the caramel sauce over low heat, stirring until smooth.
  2. Once the brownies are baked, remove them and let cool slightly. Pour warm caramel sauce over the top and sprinkle with toasted coconut.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted.
  4. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel and coconut layer.
Finishing
  1. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Cut into square pieces.

Notes

Ensure the melted butter is not too hot when mixing with sugar to avoid cooking the eggs. Consider adding sea salt on top before serving for enhanced flavor.
