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.

  8. Can the shortening be substituted? I can’t eat it. It makes me sick to look at.

    1. Well, the shortening is primarily used to thin the chocolate coating for easier drizzling and a smoother finish. You could substitute using coconut oil, unsalted butter or canola oil.
