Almond Joy Brownies

This recipie was given to my wife from her aunt. We were asked to try these out to see how they turned out. My wife loves these.

Almond Joy Brownies

• 1 box of family size chocolate fudge brownie mix
• 1 (14 oz) can of sweetened condensed milk
• 1 (14 oz) bag of coconut
• ¼ cup milk
• 1 cup chocolate chips, melted
• ¼ cup almonds (or other nuts), crushed

Preheat oven to 350º. Line a regular size (not the mini) cupcake pan with paper liners. The brownies will stick to the pan if you don’t.

Make brownies according to package directions and pour batter only half way up the liners.

Bake in oven for 12 min. While baking, mix the coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and milk together.

Remove the brownies from the oven and spoon on some of the coconut mixture.

Place in oven and continue to bake an additional 14-16 min.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before removing the paper liners. Drizzle on the chocolate then sprinkle on the almonds.

 I made a variation in which I put a single maraschino cherry in the brownie before I spooned on the coconut mixture.  Also as you can see with the pictures, I didn’t bother removing the liners before I covered them in melted chocolate and nuts.
