Ingredients
Brownies
- 1 box (18.3 oz) Betty Crocker Original Supreme Brownie Mix
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
Filling
- 3 cups flaked coconut
- 1 cup slivered almonds, toasted
- 1/4 cup almond extract
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
Drizzle
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350. Spray bottom of 13×9-inch pan with cooking spray. Make brownie mix as directed on box, using 1/4 cup water, 1/3 cup oil, 3 eggs and chocolate syrup pouch. Spread batter in pan. Bake 28 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from edge comes out almost clean.
