These Chocolate Samoa Cookie Bars capture the essence of the classic Girl Scout treat with buttery shortbread, gooey caramel, sweet coconut flakes, and a thick drizzle of chocolate.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (200 g) caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 cups (150 g) sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup (170 g) semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) coconut oil or butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a crumbly dough forms. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  3. Bake the shortbread for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let it cool completely before adding the topping.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the caramel sauce and shredded coconut. Stir until the coconut is fully coated in caramel.
  5. Spread the caramel coconut mixture evenly over the cooled shortbread base, pressing down gently to adhere.
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.
  7. Use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle the melted chocolate over the bars in zigzag patterns. Let the chocolate set for 15-20 minutes.
  8. Once the chocolate has hardened, remove the bars from the pan and slice into squares or rectangles. Enjoy!

Notes

[‘Use softened butter for even mixing.’, ‘Chill the bars before slicing for clean edges.’, ‘Microwave chocolate cautiously to avoid seizing.’, ‘Customize the drizzle with sea salt flakes or sprinkles.’]
