These Almond Joy Brownies have a thin, fudgy brownie layer and are topped with a creamy coconut filling, almonds and a layer of chocolate! They are an easy treat for the holidays!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x13" pan with parchment and grease lightly.
In a large mixing bowl combine butter and sugar and whisk until combined. Whisk in eggs, one at a time. Stir in vanilla.
Add the cocoa, flour, salt and baking powder and whisk just until combined.
Spread into prepared pan and bake for 25-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted near the middle comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
Remove from oven and cool completely.
In a medium bowl, combine coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and powdered sugar. Use a wet spatula or wet fingers to spread coconut mixture over browns. Place almonds evenly over coconut mixture (
Melt chocolate chips and butter in a small bowl in the microwave in 20 second increments, stirring each time until smooth. It should take 40-60 seconds total.
Pour chocolate over coconut layer and spread evenly. Allow to set completely before slicing -- place in the fridge to chill even quicker!
