We all have our favorite flavor, but it seems that one of the most popular flavors is Samoas. They have a vanilla cookie base with caramel, toasted coconut, and chocolate. YUM-O! Well, if you didn’t get your cookies on the spot, what do you do as you anxiously wait the 4 to 6 weeks before they arrive?
You make this easy dessert. It’s practically as good as the real thing.
Here is what you need:
- 1/2 bag marshmallows
- 1/2 cup peanut butter, creamy
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 squares chocolate bark
- 3 cups Cap’n Crunch cereal
- 1/2 cup toasted coconut
- Wax paper
- Butter flavor cooking spray
Here is what you do:
- Line baking dish with wax paper so the wax paper hangs over the edge on two sides. These edges will be used as handles to easily remove the treat from the baking dish.
- Spray wax paper with cooking spray.
- Melt marshmallows, peanut butter, and vanilla until smooth.
- Toss cereal in melted mixture then pour into baking dish.
- Melt chocolate.
- While chocolate melts, toast coconut.
- Spread chocolate over cereal then sprinkle with coconut.
- Cool for 10 minutes. Cut into 2” squares.
- Makes about 9 servings.
To melt chocolate:
- Fill small pot with water.
- Place a glass, heat resistant bowl inside pot without letting bottom of bowl touch the water.
- Place chocolate squares in bowl.
- Bring water to light boil and chocolate will begin to melt.
- Stir chocolate occasionally until smooth.
To toast coconut:
- Place coconut in skillet over low-medium heat. Stir occasionally.
- Coconut will begin to brown and you will start to smell the toasty aroma. When this happens, stay near the pan and stir frequently.
- Remove from heat.
- Not all pieces will be brown, and that is normal.
Betcha can't eat just one square!
