Gourmet German Chocolate Brownies

This was what we threw together last night for family night. I didn't have the ingredients for the treat I wanted to make and didn't want to brave the Memorial Day crowds at the store, so we used what we had on hand.

We just used a brownie mix and made it according to the package. After it came out we topped it with some homemade coconut pecan frosting (see the recipe below--but of course you can use store bought from a can or mix) and then drizzled some melted milk chocolate frosting from a can. Easy peasy and oh, so tasty!
Coconut Pecan Frosting
Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook

1 egg
2/3 cup evaporated milk (regular milk works fine too)
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 1/3 cup coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecans

In a medium saucepan, slightly beat egg. Stir in milk, sugar, and butter. Cook and stir over medium heat about 12 minutes or till thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat; stir in coconut and pecans. Cover and cool. Tastes great on German Chocolate Cake, Brownies, you name it :).
