- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
- Melt butter and chocolate: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chopped chocolate together until smooth. Remove from heat.
- Mix wet ingredients: Whisk in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla to the chocolate mixture.
- Add dry ingredients: Stir in the flour and salt until just combined. Fold in chopped pecans if using.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 25–30 minutes until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
- Make topping: In a saucepan over medium heat, cook evaporated milk, brown sugar, butter, and egg yolks until thickened. Stir in vanilla, coconut, and pecans.
- Assemble: Spread the topping over the cooled brownies and chill for easier slicing.
Notes
- You can double the recipe and bake in a 9×13-inch pan for a crowd.
- For a shortcut, use a brownie mix for the base and make the topping from scratch.
- Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
