These German Chocolate Brownies<\/strong> deliver the same terrific chocolate, coconut, caramel, and pecan flavors as their namesake cake with a fraction of the work. <\/em><\/p>\n Rich fudgy brownies are topped with the decadent, gooey coconut topping that German chocolate cake lovers adore.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I packed these German Chocolate Brownies up and took them to two luncheons. You see, Bill won\u2019t touch anything with coconut and I cannot get enough of it. So these sorts of tempting treats must be high-tailed out of the house. Making these brownies is much less daunting than a full-blown German chocolate cake! Here are the highlights:<\/p>\n I did sample one of these German Chocolate Brownies first, though, and declared them blog-worthy. And even more than blog-worthy, they were insanely<\/em> delicious. So off they went. To the hospital on Thursday and to a holiday lunch with my girlfriends on Friday.<\/p>\n I\u2019m also a fan of the caramel brownies made from a box of German Chocolate Cake mix<\/a>, but these German chocolate Brownies from scratch are a pure, wholesome indulgence!<\/p>\n German chocolate is a type of dark chocolate created and named for Samuel German in 1852. It\u2019s smooth and mild in flavor plus it\u2019s sweeter than semi-sweet chocolate due to the addition of sugar. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Baker\u2019s Brand sells German chocolate that is readily available at large grocery stores. But if you can\u2019t locate it, semisweet chocolate works well (that\u2019s what is used in this recipe). <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n German Chocolate contains 48% cacao, which is obtained from the tropical evergreen from which cocoa butter, chocolate, and cocoa powder are produced. Note: cacao<\/em> refers to the raw, unrefined bean and cocoa refers to the bean after it\u2019s roasted.<\/p>\n As a comparison, Semisweet Chocolate typically contains 60% cacao and Bittersweet Chocolate contains 70%. Milk Chocolate is only required to contain 10%.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Stay in touch through social media\u00a0@\u00a0Instagram<\/a>,\u00a0Facebook<\/a>, and\u00a0Pinterest<\/a>.
