Ingredients

1 box (16 oz) Betty Crocker™ Supreme original brownie mix
Water, vegetable oil and egg called for on brownie mix box
1 1/2 cups flaked coconut
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
2/3 cup (from 14-oz can) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease bottom of 9-inch square pan with shortening or cooking spray. Make brownie batter as directed on box. Spread in pan. Bake 28 to 31 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean.
Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix filling ingredients. Remove brownies from oven. Carefully spoon and spread filling evenly over brownies. Bake 15 to 18 minutes longer or until light golden brown. Cool completely on cooling rack, about 1 1/2 hours.
In small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips on High 30 to 60 seconds, stirring halfway through, until chips can be stirred smooth. Spoon into resealable food-storage plastic bag; partially seal bag. Cut small tip from corner of bag; drizzle over top. Let stand about 2 hours or until set. Cut into 4 rows by 4 rows.
