•
1 cup all-purpose flour
•
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
•
1/4 teaspoon salt
•
1/2 cup unsalted butter
•
4 (1 ounce) squares sweet baking chocolate (such as Baker's German's Sweet Chocolate®), broken into pieces
•
1/2 cup white sugar
•
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
2 large eggs, beaten
•

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons corn syrup
•
2 tablespoons milk

Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Butter an 8- or 9-inch square glass baking pan.
2
Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
3
Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add chocolate and stir until melted. Remove from the heat and cool for 10 minutes or more.
4
Combine cooled chocolate mixture, sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Add eggs; mix well. Add flour mixture and stir until well combined. Spread batter into the prepared baking pan.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and set the oven to broil.
6
Combine brown sugar, melted butter, corn syrup, and milk for topping in a bowl. Stir in coconut and pecans. Drop and gently spread mixture evenly over the warm brownies.
7
Broil 4 inches from the heat until topping is bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes. Cool for 1 hour before slicing and serving.
