BEST GERMAN CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

made these for work–they were a hit!!! was asked for the recipe by everyone.

These are so good! I agree with others that the brownie part is a little on the dry side (I cooked for only 15 mins exactly) but that’s doesn’t bother me much, they are more cakey than fudgey, but I might try just putting the topping on my usual brownie recipe next time though because I don’t have to buy German chocolate for that either.
I love rich, fudgy brownies, but that coconut pecan frosting takes it to a whole new level. It would be really hard for me to not just eat it all with a spoon!
Coconut pecan frosting!!!!! SIGN ME UP!
Brownies are my favourite baked goods, but that frosting….over the top deliciousness.
I need one of this right now! And this frosting is everything! I would totally eat them with my hands because they look so good that I wouldn’t want to waste the time on getting a spoon. 🙂
