Tip: These decadent Mounds brownies have about 350-450 calories per serving, depending on the portion size and how much frosting you use. Perfect for a sweet treat, these brownies have a rich coconut topping and a chocolatey finish, making them a crowd-pleaser!

Ingredients:

• 1 box brownie mix (9x13 size), mixed and baked according to box directions

• 5 cups shredded coconut

• 1 can sweetened condensed milk

• 1 cup powdered sugar

• 1 container chocolate frosting (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions:

Step 1:

• Prepare and bake the brownies according to the directions on the box in a 9x13-inch baking pan. Once done, remove the brownies from the oven.

Step 2:

• While the brownies are baking, in a separate bowl, mix together the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and powdered sugar. Stir until everything is well combined.

Step 3:

• As soon as the brownies come out of the oven, spread the coconut mixture evenly over the hot brownies. This allows the mixture to melt slightly into the brownies.

Step 4:

• Microwave the chocolate frosting just long enough (about 20-30 seconds) to make it pourable.

Step 5:

• Pour the melted frosting over the coconut-covered brownies and spread it out evenly to cover the entire surface, making sure the frosting seals the edges.

Step 6:

• Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing into squares and serving.

Notes:

• Saving Energy: Since you’re using a pre-made brownie mix, this recipe is relatively quick to prepare and requires minimal baking time.

• Health Benefits: These brownies are rich and indulgent, with coconut providing a small boost of fiber, but they’re still high in sugar and fats. Consider enjoying them in moderation!
