Chris Schnittka of Charlosttesville, Virginia easily transforms brownies, ice cream and caramel topping into a tempting treat. "Layers of toasted coconut and nuts add nice crunch and make this dessert seem fancy," she remarks. "But it really couldn't be simpler to put together."

1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1 package fudge brownie mix (8-inch square pan size)
1 pint vanilla ice cream
1 jar (12-1/4 ounces) caramel ice cream topping

Directions

Place pecans and coconut in an ungreased baking pan. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until toasted, stirring frequently.
Meanwhile, prepare brownie batter and bake according to package directions. Cool on a wire rack; cut into small squares.
When ready to serve, in six parfait or dessert glasses, layer with brownies, ice cream, caramel topping and pecan mixture; repeat layers one or two times.
