German chocolate is such a classic flavor and a comfort food for us. Bill loves coconut so whenever I can make anything that has coconut in it, I know he’ll be in love.
In doing a little research I learned that the chocolate part is what is the German chocolate. I mistakenly thought that it was the combination of the chocolate, coconut and pecans that made it “German chocolate.” And it has zero connection to being German in origin!
These brownies can be heated slightly in the microwave or air fryer to serve warm or can be cooled and refrigerated for up to a week, but only if they last that long.
