I got this brownie recipe from a magazine clipping several years ago. It must have been a Pillsbury recipe because the recipe calls for a Pillsbury brownie mix. Its very good and different. I have not made this one in the past year so do not have a picture but these are pretty as well as delicious. The dark chocolate brownies have a cream cheese icing and I sprinkle more coconut on top of the frosting. These are nice enough for the holidays and easy enough for a picnic.

Ingredients

  • BROWNIES:
  • 1 package pillsbury fudge walnut brownie mix
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple in its own juice, drained
  • 1 cup coconut
  • FROSTING:
  • 2 cups powdered sugar (sift if lumpy)

How To Make aloha brownies

  • Step 1
    Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom only of a 9 by 13 inch pan. In a large bowl combine all brownie ingredients; beat 50 strokes by hand or until well blended. Spread in greased pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Cool completely.
  • Step 2
    in a small bowl combine all frosting ingredients, adding enough milk until frosting is of desired spreading consistency. Spread over cooled brownies. Cut in bars. Store any leftovers in refrigerator.
  • Step 3
    NOTE: I like to sprinkle more coconut over frosting right after spreading it on the brownies.
