Chocolate Macaroon Brownies image

The brownie base makes this recipe different from other macaroon bars-in fact, that gives you a nice option if you don't have a lot of time. Just substitute a boxed brownie mix and top it with the filling and frosting.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I decided to try these brownies anyway. I'm glad I did! The macaroon layer was actually really good and it didn't overpower the chocolate flavor. I'll definitely be making these again.

These brownies were easy to make and turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt to the brownie batter. Other than that, they were perfect!

These brownies are amazing! I love the combination of the chewy brownie and the crunchy macaroon layer. They're also not too sweet, which I appreciate. I've already made them twice and they're a hit every time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the brownies turned out perfectly! They were moist and fudgy, with a nice crispy crust. The macaroon layer added a delicious crunch and a bit of sweetness. I will definitely be making these again!

These brownies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them! They said they were the best brownies they've ever had. I'll probably try making them again with less sugar next time.
