Ingredients
  

For the Brownies
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Adds a deep and rich chocolate flavor essential for those Samoa brownies.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Provides structure; swap with gluten-free flour if needed.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the brownies; reduce if using sweetened cocoa powder.
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar Contributes moisture and a touch of caramel flavor; no substitutes necessary.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Balances out the sweetness; essential for enhancing all flavors.
  • 1/2 cup Butter Gives richness; can be replaced with margarine or coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
  • 2 large Eggs Binds the ingredients and helps the brownies rise; flax eggs work for a vegan alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances the overall flavor; not to be substituted.
  • 1 cup Chopped Toasted Coconut Adds a delightful texture and the signature flavor of Samoa cookies; no alternative required but feel free to experiment with other nuts.
  • 1/2 cup Caramel Sauce Creates that signature gooeyness; both pre-made and homemade versions work beautifully.

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking pan
  • medium bowl
  • small saucepan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, then remove from heat and stir in the eggs and vanilla extract until glossy and smooth. Combine with dry ingredients.
  4. Fold in the chopped toasted coconut and drizzle in the caramel sauce, swirling gently to create a marbled effect.
  5. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly and bake for about 30 minutes.
  6. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares.
