Brownies Samoa

If I had to pick one girl scout cookie as a family favorite it would have to be the Samoa cookie. My kids aren't big coconut eaters, but they will beg for a Samoa cookie. When I saw this recipe on Priscilla Bakes I had to try it. It is fairly simple to make and I wanted to see if it really gave you that Samoa cookie taste. It absolutely did! I do think that next time I am going to try it with half the amount of the caramel coconut topping. It does make a fairly thick layer, which cause the brownies to get smash a bit when you cut them out. Plus, it wouldn't hurt to reduce the calories on these babies. The other thing is the recipe says to keep refrigerate the brownies. The caramel topping was too hard to eat straight from the fridge. You really need to pull it out an hour or so before you want to eat it in order to soften that caramel layer. Any Samoa cookie lover will be pleased with this brownie version.
