Last year, my husband greeted a Girl Scout at our door and ordered a couple of boxes but not my beloved Samoas.

As he was closing the door, I casually asked what he ordered.

And when we realized what we had missed ordering, he opened the door, yelling, “Girl Scout girl! Girl Scout girl!”

We still laugh about how ridiculous we must have seemed… but a girl’s gotta have her annual fix!

Are Samoas and Caramel Delites the Same

Yes, Samoas and Caramel deLites are essentially the same Girl Scout cookie, but they are made by different bakeries.

While they both feature caramel, chocolate, and toasted coconut over a shortbread base, slight differences in texture, shape and chocolate drizzle can exist depending on the bakery.

MAKE THE REST!

9.    In a double boiler, melt the solid shortening.

10.   Add the chocolate melts and stir occasionally, until melted.

11.   Pour the melted chocolate into a microwave safe bowl that will make it easier to dip the bars.

12.   Dip each Rice Krispies bar half way into the melted chocolate, covering the bottom of each bar.

Place on wax-covered covered cookie sheet (bottom side up) and chill for 10 minutes to allow chocolate to “set.”

Set aside remaining melted chocolate for later.

13.  Toast the coconut in the oven or on the stovetop.

I just toasted mine on the stove top in a frying pan over medium heat until it browned- takes about 5 minutes.

14.  Flip the bars over and press the toasted coconut into the top of the bars. Set aside any remaining coconut.

15.   Microwave the caramel dip according to package instructions.

Using a spoon, generously drizzle the caramel sauce on top of each Rice Krispies bar.

16.   Reheat the remaining chocolate by microwaving in 10 second intervals until completely melted.

17.   Drizzle the chocolate on top of each Rice Krispies bar.

18.   Garnish with remaining coconut.

19.   Set for 30 minutes.
