Now, that’s a recipe title. These brownies have it all. While I like brownies that are over the top chocolate, I think my favorites are the ones loaded with other flavors, too. This recipe certainly offers a little bit of everything.
Not everyone loves coconut (coughQuinncough) like I do, but I managed to make us both happy by only using coconut in half of the brownies. All the non-chocolate elements of these brownies are placed on top of the brownie batter. That makes them very versatile because you can top them off with pretty much anything you want.
Quinn wants me to tell you that underneath all the topping, the brownies themselves are delicious as well. He has requested that I make just the brownie component at some point in the near future.
I became a bit concerned about these brownies as they neared the 40 minute mark in the oven. The edges looked like they were getting overbaked. The center was definitely not set, though. I let them continue baking for a total of about 45 minutes, assuming that I would just discard the edges. However, the edges turned out fine.
We thoroughly enjoyed these flavor-packed brownies. I shared these with some grateful, excited friends who also have a coconut-divided house. I was considerate enough to put the coconut brownies and the non-coconut brownies in separate containers. We wouldn’t want any contamination, would we?

My hubby is not a fan of coconut unless it’s in the form of a German Chocolate cake. These looks fabulous!

Wow, these look amazing. And I just finished inventorying my pantry; I have everything I need to make them. Perhaps I have a brownie baking streak coming on!

I can understand you well. I’m actually rarely into this pure chocolate thingy, but like to add different flavours to it. These brownies seem delicious!
12 jennifer // Jan 13, 2008 at 10:20 am
Thanks, Hendria!
JEP, that’s one of my favorite combinations, too.
Michelle, I hope you like the brownies!
Evelin, thanks! I just like to add some “interest” to my chocolate. Although, every once in a while, I just want some chocolate all by itself.

Those brownies look good enough to eat … if you weren’t trying to stick to your new year’s diet! Waaah!
14 Alejandra // Jan 13, 2008 at 7:41 pm
That is definitely a fantastic title. Am excited to try these out. I love coconut anything…
15 jennifer // Jan 13, 2008 at 7:45 pm
Tracy, one brownie does not kill a diet. Five or six is a different story.
Alejandra, thanks! Nice to meet another coconut fan.

I don’t usually like adding a lot of stuff to brownies, but i find this recipe really appealing. You’re right that when people don’t like a certain ingredient, avoiding cross-contamination is crucial!
