Instructions
1. Preheat oven: 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla, whisk to combine.

3. Add dry ingredients: Stir in cocoa powder, flour, and salt until just combined.

4. Fold in coconut: Gently fold shredded coconut into the batter.

5. Bake: Pour batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle extra coconut on top if desired. Bake 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

6. Cool: Let cool completely before cutting into squares.

Tips:
• Use sweetened coconut for a more intense coconut flavor or unsweetened for less sweetness.
• For a tropical twist, add chopped macadamia nuts or white chocolate chips
