Dense, fudgy coconut brownies packed with chunks of chocolate covered coconut candy bars and white chocolate on an Oreo cookie crust.
Chewy coconut, dense fudgy brownies, and smooth white chocolate - all on top of an Oreo cookie crust. Chewy, gooey, and crunchy in every bite!
These are my "have a little brownie with your mix-ins" brownies, loaded with almost a pound of chocolate covered coconut candy bars, flakes of coconut, and white chocolate chunks. I stuffed this brownie to the limit - and the result is utterly delicious!
These Coconut Brownies can be made without the Oreo cookie crumb crust, but I love it for the added texture and flavor it provides. It also makes a sturdy base for my dense, fudgy brownies that are super moist. I use Bounty candy bars in my brownies but if you can't find them, you can use Mounds. Bounty is my favorite because they're covered with milk chocolate. You can find them here.
My favorite way to eat these Coconut Brownies is straight out of the fridge - they are so dense and fudgy. The secret to a fudgy brownie is to not over-bake them. They should be set on top and the edges will just start to look done.

Description
Dense, fudgy coconut brownies packed with chunks of chocolate covered coconut candy bars and white chocolate on an Oreo cookie crust.
Ingredients
For the Oreo cookie crust:
- 1 ½ cups finely ground Oreo cookie crumbs, 17 cookies (6.75oz, 191g)
- 4 tablespoons melted butter (2oz, 57g)
For the brownie:
- 1 cup butter, melted and cooled (8oz, 227g)
- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled (113g)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar (12.25oz, 347g)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (5oz, 142g)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened alkalized cocoa powder (11g)
- ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoons vanilla
- 6 bars (1.75 ounces each) chocolate covered coconut candy (such as Mounds, Almond Joy, or Bounty), cut into ½-inch chunks (298g)
- ¾ cup sweetened flaked coconut (6.35oz, 180g)
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or chunks (6oz, 170g)
Instructions
For the Oreo cookie base:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Prepare an 8 inch by 8 inch baking pan, see note, and spray the inside with cooking spray.
- Combine the Oreo cookie crumbs and the melted butter. Press into the bottom of baking pan.
- Bake in 350 degree F oven for 5 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly while preparing brownie batter.
For the brownie:
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until blended.
- Add cooled melted butter and melted chocolate and whisk to combine.
- Combine dry ingredients in bowl and sift over chocolate mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula just until combined. Do not over mix.
- Add coconut, candy bar chunks, and white chocolate chunks and stir gently to combine.
- Pour into baking pan and smooth the top.
- Bake in 350 degree F oven until set, about 30 minutes. Be careful not to overbake or the brownies will not be fudgy. They should be slightly underdone.
Notes
* I use a baking pan with a removable bottom which comes in handy for easily and cleanly removing brownies and bars from the pan. I line only the bottom with a square of baking parchment.
* If you don't have a removable bottom pan, you can line the baking pan with aluminum foil with the edges overhanging the pan so that the brownie lifts out neatly.
