Samoas Cookie Bars
Usually, when I eat Girl Scout cookies I choose Thin Mints. I actually never really liked Samoas, but these Samoas Cookie Bars looked like they would be fun to make and eat. The end result was really yummy! I wish I could have used better quality caramels for the topping, but there was only one type at the store so I didn't have a choice.
The bar is a shortbread crust that is baked and cooled. Then you melt the caramel and mix it with toasted shredded coconut and spread the mixture over the top. After the bars have cooled completely the bars and dipped and drizzled with melted chocolate. I cut the bars into small squares to more resemble the size of cookies rather than normal bars such as brownies. The result is a rich cookie with a great chewy texture. Yum.
