Description
These no-bake Samoa Bites capture the classic flavor of Girl Scout Samoa cookies with chewy caramel, rich chocolate, and toasted coconut in a bite-sized treat. Perfect for parties, gifting, or satisfying sweet cravings.
Ingredients
2 cups shredded coconut (toasted)
1 cup soft caramels (or caramel sauce)
2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk (if using with caramels)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or melting chocolate)
1/2 cup crushed shortbread cookies or graham crackers (optional)
Sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Spread shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast for 5–7 minutes, stirring once, until golden. Let cool.
- In a saucepan, melt soft caramels with a splash of sweetened condensed milk or cream over low heat until smooth.
- Stir the toasted coconut (and crushed cookies if using) into the caramel mixture until well combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the sheet to form bite-sized mounds.
- Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until firm.
- Melt chocolate chips in the microwave or over a double boiler until smooth.
- Dip the bottom of each bite into the melted chocolate and return to the parchment. Drizzle chocolate over the tops.
- Sprinkle with sea salt if desired. Let chocolate set completely before serving or storing.
Notes
Use parchment paper and lightly greased utensils to prevent sticking.
Roll mixture into balls for a truffle-like presentation.
For bar form, press mixture into a pan, chill, and cut into squares.
Use dark chocolate for a richer flavor or drizzle with white chocolate for contrast.
Let frozen bites thaw for 10 minutes at room temperature before serving.
