- 2 large eggs
- 1 12 cups roughly chopped salted macadamia nuts
- 13 cup sweetened flaked coconut
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving some overhang on the sides, and spray with cooking spray.
- Make the brownie layer:.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk the butter until it is melted.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the sugar, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Whisk until well blended, about 1 minute.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and whisk until smooth.
- Add the flour and stir with a rubber spatula until blended.
- Scrape into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake until the top is shiny and dry-looking and the brownie springs back very slightly when pressed with a fingertip, about 20 minutes.
- (The brownie should not be completely baked.)
- Remove from the oven and put on a rack.
- While the brownie layer is baking, make the macadamia topping:.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and flour.
- Whisk until well blended, breaking up any large clumps.
- Add the corn syrup, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Whisk until blended, about 1 minute.
- Add the eggs and whisk just until combined, about 30 seconds.
- (Dont overmix or the batter will be foamy.)
- Add the nuts and coconut and stir with a rubber spatula until evenly blended.
- Pour the macadamia topping over the warm, partially baked brownie layer.
- Using a spatula, carefully spread the mixture into an even layer.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake until the top is golden brown, 37 to 40 minutes.
- Transfer the pan to a rack to cool completely.
- Using the foil as handles, lift the rectangle from the pan and invert onto a work surface.
- Carefully peel away the foil.
- Flip right side up.
- Using a sharp knife, cut into 2x2-inch squares and then cut each square into triangles.
- Make Ahead Tips.
- After the brownie and macadamia layers have been baked and cooled, the entire pan can be wrapped in plastic wrap, then foil, and frozen for up to 1 month.
