Well, the Girl Scout cookie season seems to have officially come and gone. Being that I was a Brownie in my wee little years, I feel compelled to support the troops by purchasing cookies from the daughters of my co-workers. This ordering can present a problem because I have a thing for Girl Scout Cookies; often stockpiling them away in the freezer for some mid-summer noshing. I also tend to over buy them and get really sick of the sugar goodness before they are all consumed or covered in freezer burn. Due to this wastefulness, I only ordered 5 boxes this year. Two of those boxes were Caramel deLites aka Samoas and much to my surprise, they were almost gone within a few days. This presented a problem since they are a family favorite!
When I saw a recipe for Somoas Bars, I knew I had to give them a try in an attempt to rectify the scant supply of Caramel deLites in my fridge. This recipe seemed easy enough and had all the yummy cookie flavors that I have grown to love over the years. This recipe is not hard to make and requires pretty basic ingredients. The result is a good cookie bar reminiscent of Caramel deLites; however, I think the “crust” needs to be tweaked a bit. It seemed a tad thick and chewy as opposed to thin and crisp, but they were still gobbled up! 
First– I would not say that you are a wannabe photography. You made it, girl. I can only dream of learning to photograph at your level. I’m trying!
Next — I decided to skip Samoa’s in my weak attempt to resist the calories. Too late. I saw your photos, and I think these are worthy of my trying this out.
Great recipe!
I made a batch of these, and I agree about the crust. I also skipped the “dip the bottom in chocolate” step and added more in the drizzle on top. It was fun to unleash my inner Jackson Pollock with the chocolate. ;)
If you come up with a better crust solution, please let us know!
Great job! I tried this recipe not too long ago and agree the crust could use some work. Your photo is gorgeous!
Now those didn’t spread! LOL …you must have had a good night sleep, huh? lol
Ya know I’m kdding you, don’t ya!?
They look and probably were awsome, I’m keeping it for a rainy day… or a gigantic caramel fix! LOL
Mmm, these bars look fantastic! They look even better than the “real” Samoas. How fabulous! Now you can have your fav all year round!
