German Chocolate Brownies have a coconut pecan filling topped with a rich brownie.  A great treat if you’re a coconut lover.

It’s not surprising that I absolutely love these brownies since I love anything with coconut.  I have a friend who is having some medical issues and thought these might cheer him up.  The recipe makes a lot of very large brownies so you can cut them into small squares and everyone will still be happy.  I sent some home with everyone who came by the house over the weekend.  They are full of sugar, rich, but worth every calorie. You can eat them at room temperature or right out of the refrigerator.  I didn’t have enough left-over to freeze, but I’m sure they would freeze well. German Chocolate Brownies on blue serving dish

I didn’t use german chocolate but a very good quality of semi-sweet chocolate.  I don’t think you can go wrong with whatever is your preference, the sweet coconut pecan filling is sweet enough on it’s own. If you want pretty brownies, refrigerate them before cutting.  These will definitely be on my list to make again.  I think Taylor will be asking for them when she comes home from college, she loved them as much as I did.
