Preparing Mounds Brownies
Making Mounds Brownies is straightforward and rewarding. Here’s what to expect: we’ll start by baking the brownie base according to the box instructions. While it’s baking, we’ll whip up a creamy coconut topping that includes sweetened condensed milk and powdered sugar. Once the brownies are out of the oven and still warm, we’ll spread that topping generously over them, followed by a drizzle of melted chocolate frosting. Finally, all that’s left is to let them cool, slice, and serve!
What you’ll need
To whip up these delightful brownies, gather the following ingredients:
- 1 box (9×13 size) brownie mix (plus required ingredients like eggs, oil, and water)
- 5 cups shredded coconut
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 container (16 oz) chocolate frosting
Feel free to modify with some variations. For instance, you can use light coconut milk for a lighter filling or even dark chocolate frosting for an extra chocolatey experience!
