Every year some kind soul patiently explains this to me. Every single year I forget. My mind just doesn’t work in football.

Do you know how my mind works? Food. I’ll argue it’s the best part of football season and this Samoa S’mores Dip is one of the best tailgate party foods. It’s the sister of the popular baked s’mores dip!

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.

Graham crackers are always a traditional choice, but if you’re looking for something a little different, try Samoa cookies, butter crackers, Oreos, pretzels, chocolate graham crackers or even fudge round cookies.
