Easy Almond Joy Brownies Using Boxed Mix
Try to eat just one of these brownies.
These Almond Joy Coconut Brownies might look like a million bucks and taste like they were just bought from a fancy bakery, but the truth is that the main ingredient is actually just boxed brownie mix.
I am a sucker for boxed mixes, and often use them as a base to create yummy and simple recipes. You can do so much when using a boxed brownie mix, plus I love that I usually end up saving both money and time.
These over-the-top delicious brownies are so simple to make thanks to boxed brownie mix and just 4 additional ingredients. This recipe makes a rich, fudgy brownie with an ooey-gooey shredded coconut center. You can sure taste the famous almond joy candy bar – just in brownie form. SO good.
HIP TIPS
- I reonlinemend getting a “fudge brownie mix”. This variety seems to have the best turn out for me.
- Add a layer of parchment paper to pan before pouring the brownie mix to prevent sticking, and help with easy clean up.
- Don’t forget to garnish your brownie mix before baking in the oven. The toasted coconut adds another layer of amazingness to this easy dessert.
