This recipe for Samoa Bars tastes just like my favorite Girl Scout Cookie!

Girl Scout Samoa Cookies

I mean, what’s not to love?  Chocolate?  Coconut?  Caramel?  Shortbread?  And, put it all together and you’ve got one super, duper yummy cookie!  Every year, when the neighborhood girls camp out in front of the grocery store, I have to buy a box.  And then…I hide it!  I want them all to myself!  And, I know it sounds silly, but I ration them.  I want to extend the bliss as long as possible.

It’s just a shame that you can only get them for a short time.

Is It a Keeper?

If the caramel stuck to my fingers (and keyboard!) is any indication…I’d say these are a home run!  Holy cow, they are yummy!  The recipe makes a big batch — which is a VERY good thing!  So, I felt better about sharing them with my husband and son!  Of course, they loved them too!

Well, now that I’ve been writing about these cookies, I need to go indulge!  Enjoy!

  7. Stopping over the blog hop, I am a sucker for recipe blogs. (It could be because I have one myself for Pete’s sake.)

    I can eat 247 girl scout cookies in one sitting, my bad.

  12. I will definitely be trying one of these recipes. I am a huge samoa fan. If you can teach me how you ration yours that would be helpful–I tend to down a box quickly. 🙂

    • It only because I try to hide them (from myself) in spot that hard to remember, like the medicine cabinet or my cabinet over my washing machine! 🙂
