Update 5/2017 – These German Chocolate Brownies are still a definite family favorite. We have these often and are usually requested for the purpose of making the shakes as well.
German Chocolate Brownies.
Homemade Brownies (the best, in my humble opinion). Topped with melted chocolate. Then melted caramel. AND an amazing Coconut Pecan Frosting.
Don’t you want a bite right now? Because I do. Right now as I’m typing this I wish I had one left. But these disappeared. Quickly. Mostly because my husband turned some of them into something else fantastic that he was insistent I share with you. And I will be in a few weeks. Not to tease you or anything, but just try these fantastic brownies and then think of making it more decadent and amazing.
I mean, really, is there anything bad about these? I tell you that there is not. But, we love all things German Chocolate.

These look so good Jodie! My mom always made a german chocolate cake that melted in your mouth…. these look like these would do the same.
Mary Ellen, that sounds so good. I hope these are comparable!
