Easy Samoa Brownies
These chocolate brownies are inspired by the popular Girl Scout cookie. They’re made with a rich and decadent chocolate brownie base, topped with caramel and toasted coconut topping with melted chocolate drizzle.
Enjoy these easy Samoa brownies with ice cream or whipped cream.
Recipe Notes:
- Use high-quality chocolate brownie mix and chocolate chips for the brownie batter and the chocolate drizzle. This will help create a richer and more decadent flavor.
- Toasting the coconut flakes before adding them to the caramel to top the brownies will create a lovely nutty and toasted flavor.
- Use a non-stick brownie pan when making these brownies, or line the pan with parchment paper.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before adding the caramel and coconut toppings. This will help the toppings adhere better to the brownies.
- Once the toppings are added, chill the brownies in the refrigerator for at least an hour before cutting. This will make it easier to cut the brownies into clean and even squares.
- When storing these brownies, line the bottom of the container with parchment paper to prevent the brownies from sticking to the container.
These Samoa brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or refrigerated for up to one week. You also have the option to freeze these brownies for 2-3 months, flash-freezing them first to harden them before transferring them to a container or a Ziploc bag.
Samoa brownies can be enjoyed alone or alongside vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

- To ensure these brownies are gluten-free, choose a gluten-free brownie mix. You also have the option of making your own brownie batter from scratch with gluten-free flour.
- I’ve used an ice cream caramel topping for these brownies, but you can use another good-quality caramel sauce or make your own.
- You can also get creative with the toppings by adding additional ingredients, such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips, chocolate sprinkles, maraschino cherries, or mini marshmallows.
