Mounds Brownies
Description
Mounds Brownies consist of a chocolate brownie base that can be prepared from a box mix or made from scratch using butter, sugar, eggs, cocoa powder, flour, and chocolate chips. Once baked and cooled, a coconut layer made by blending sweetened condensed milk, coconut flakes, and powdered sugar is spread over the brownies. The topping is a chocolate ganache made by pouring hot heavy cream and butter over semi-sweet chocolate chips, allowing it to sit before stirring to create a smooth, glossy sauce.
The brownies combine a fudgy texture from the rich brownie base, the chewy and sweet coconut layer reminiscent of the Mounds candy bar, and the silky, shiny ganache that adds a decadent finish. The topping is cooled and refrigerated to set, providing a firm yet soft chocolaty top.
This layered dessert works well for gatherings or as a special treat, offering familiar candy-bar flavors in brownie form.
