What are Samoas?

Samoas are popular cookies sold by the Girl Scouts. They are often also called Caramel deLites. The one of the most popular selling cookies, second only to Thin Mints (source). They have caramel and coconut and chocolate with a cookie in the middle. If it isn’t cookie season, don’t worry! Keebler has a cookie that is similar called Coconut Dreams. Feel free to use those to dip in this warm gooey dip.
