Ingredients
Samoas Bars
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 cups shredded coconut
- 12 ounces Chewy Caramels
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons whole milk
- 20 ounces chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- To make the cookie base, using a hand mixer, whisk together the butter and sugar until creamy and light.
- To the butter mixture add the eggs and vanilla, then add the flour and salt until combined. The mixture will be crumbly.
- Press the cookie dough base in the bottom of the prepared pan, bake for 20-25 minutes, and allow it to cool.
- Toast the coconut by laying it on a baking sheet and baking while the crust cools, tossing occasionally for 10-15 minutes until the tops are slightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Unwrap your caramels and put them into a microwave-safe dish. Add the milk and salt. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each heating.
- Once the caramel mixture is melted, stir in the toasted coconut and spread over the cookie base. Allow to cool completely.
- Remove the bars from the pan and cut into the desired shape. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, and dip the bottom of each square in the chocolate.
- Lay the chocolate-dipped bars onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Put the remaining chocolate in a zip lock bag and snip the corner. Pipe lines of chocolate on each square. Refrigerate until the chocolate hardens and serve!
