Double Chocolate Brownies with Shredded Coconut Slicing

These brownies are probably good as they are but I have decided to dust them with some shredded coconut for a bit of extra flavor which is a good idea as the coconut will nicely balance the heavy chocolate flavor.

You can also top these brownies with some fresh berries for a nice bittersweet touch or some finely chopped nuts for a crunchy option. The choice is yours! Enjoy!
