The great flavors of the famous Samoa girl scout cookie, in truffle form! A buttery shortbread truffle covered with caramel, toasted coconut and a chocolate’y drizzle. Only six ingredients!
Girl Scout Cookie season always makes me feel a little nostalgic. It brings me right back to the early 90’s, when right after Christmas was over, you knew that it was almost time – COOKIE time. You’d get that obnoxiously sized card stock order form that always tore down the middle, with a different color box for each type of cookie, and every time someone signed up, you’d proudly mark the number of boxes they wanted in their flavor choice, hoping that you’d get all those boxes full and be the winner of life {or the most amount of cookies sold} in your troop.
But times have changed. I feel like Girl Scout cookies are on sale like, all year long. And they’re like $5 a box. And there’s less of them. And people sell them on Facebook. I MISS MY COLOR CODED CARD STOCK ORDER FORM!
But as the girl scout cookie pushing times have changed, so have I. I like my GS cookies in a little more ‘adult’ fashion. Samoas (or ‘Caramel Delights’ as they’re politically correctly referred to now) were always my favorite. So I brought them back in the form of one of my most favorite desserts on earth – the illustrious truffle. These are beyond easy and beyond amazing guys, especially if you’re of the samoa fan fam. SIX ingredients. That is all it takes to bring you back to childhood! No time machine necessary!
