diy samoas? oh, you don't know what you started....or do you?
i'm going to have to try this recipe this weekend!
The DIY samoas are really, really good with a couple of changes...
Make them into bar cookies and save yourself a TON of work. Add more caramel and more coconut than the recipe calls for. Use a thinner bottom layer of the shortbread if you are making the bar cookies--there may be some shortbread leftover, but I'm sure you can find a use for it!
Can I ask a question? Why are these cookies called "Samoas"? I know "Samoa" as an island nation, not as a cookie?
