Samoas are my favorite Girl Scout cookie. What’s not to love about chocolate, caramel, and coconut?
I wanted to recreate this beloved cookie, but it seemed a little too time consuming to make those cute little round cookies with the cut out in the middle – I am a busy girl, after all. So I changed it up a bit and made them into bars!
They may not be the fanciest dessert, but I love a good bar recipe! They are so much faster to make and equally delicious as any cute little cut outs.
I actually made these several months ago, but life got in the way and I forgot to share them with you! Better late than never, right? These are so good, you guys. Buttery shortbread cookie crust. Toasted coconut and gooey caramel topping. Dunked and drizzled with chocolate. Amen.

Ok… Not real sure how you could ‘forget’ to share such a yummy-looking recipe, but SO GLAD you DID !! Can’t wait to make these as they are my favorite Girl Scout Cookie, too !

Hi, just wondering, maybe it is the lighting but the chocolate on the cookies in the picture looks more like milk chocolate than semi sweet chocolate. You recommend semi sweet chocolate, correct? Thanks.
