Samoas

Or I guess they're called Caramel Delights now for some reason.

Regardless, I found a recipe online to make some when there's no girl scouts around.

Recipe found here

So it wasn't too hard but it was tedious and time consuming.

Note: I only had coarse kosher salt so my cookies were a bit salty. LOVE the tip of using a decorating tip to make the center holes. Will come in handy when you need to dip.


Note: It takes a while for the caramel to turn dark amber... but once it starts changing colors, it changes fast! So keep yours eyes on it.

Note: My caramel dipping was too thick but whenever I tried to tap off the excess, the coconut shavings also fell off... grrr. I might try to only dip one side next time and throw extra coconut shavings on top.

Other than that... it was a success! I brought them to share and they were well received.  And the recipe makes a lot! Enjoy =)
