I love Mounds (and Almond Joy!) and I LOVE brownies… so putting them together was bound to happen eventually!
You can make brownies from scratch or just use a boxed mix to speed this up! Either way, they are delicious and they do freeze beautifully! If you have extra topping left over, it keeps well in the fridge and can be reheated on 50% power in the microwave.

Can I substitute sweetened condensed coconut milk for this recipe? I also have a great quick scratch brownie recipe ready for this. I keep the dry ingredients prepped in the freezer. Just need to add eggs and oil So it’s quick. But I have so much sweetened condensed coconut milk ready for my holiday coquito! Would be great if I could use some of it here to enhance the coconut flavor.
I haven’t tried it so I can’t say for sure Gia, but it should work just fine. If you try it I would love to hear how it turns out!
