Easy Girl Scout Samoas (Copycat)

1. 1

   Toast coconut flakes in 350 oven for 6-10 minutes until golden brown.

2. 2

   Place in a bowl when toasted.

3. 3

   Unwrap caramels, add milk and salt. Microwave for 1-2 minutes in 30 second intervals in a shallow bowl. The mixture should be creamy and easy to spread.

4. 4

   Line a cookie sheet with waxed or parchment paper.

5. 5

   Using a knife, spread each cookie with the caramel mixture, be generous.

6. 6

   Dip the cookie into the toasted coconut, pressed cookie down to get as much coconut on it as possible.

7. 7

   Let cookie cool on the cookie sheet until caramel hardens.

8. 8

   Melt the chocolate chips in a plastic sandwich bag.

9. 9

   Snip end and drizzle cookies with chocolate.

10. 10

    Note: I usually only use about half of the coconut per box of cookies. I keep it in my fridge in a plastic container. That way one less step for the next time.
