1/4 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut, chopped
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
3/4 cup sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut up
5 ounces evaporated milk

Preparation

Brownies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease a 13x9\" pan with cooking spray.
Combine the brownie mix, egg, water, oil and coconut extract in a large bowl.
Mix just until blended.
Stir in the 1/2 c coconut and 1/2 c pecans.
Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until done.
Frosting: Combine 3/4 c sugar, butter, milk and egg yolks in a saucepan.
Cook on medium high heat, stirring, until thickened (about 13-15 minutes).
Add in the 1 c coconut, 3/4 c pecans and vanilla.
Cook about 2 more minutes.
When the brownies are done, pour on the warm topping and spread to the edges.
Cool 20 minutes on a wire rack.
Chill until ready to serve.
You can use the foil to life the brownies out of the pan to make slicing easier.
