No-Bake Samoa Cookies

Print Recipe

A delightful no-bake treat combining toasted coconut, rich caramel, and luscious chocolate, perfect for sweet cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup soft caramel candies (about 20 pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (or heavy cream for richer flavor)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (or butter)
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Toast the Coconut: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the shredded coconut evenly on a baking sheet and toast it in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s golden brown.
  2. Melt the Caramel: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the soft caramel candies and milk (or heavy cream). Stir gently until the mixture is smooth and gooey, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Mix in the Toasted Coconut: Once the caramel is fully melted, remove it from heat and stir in the toasted coconut until well-coated.
  4. Shape the Cookies: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out small portions of the mixture and form them into bite-sized shapes.
  5. Chill the Cookies: Place the shaped cookies in the fridge for about 30 minutes to set.
  6. Melt the Chocolate: While the cookies are chilling, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl.
  7. Dip and Drizzle: Remove the cookies from the fridge, dip each into the melted chocolate, and drizzle over each cookie in a zigzag pattern.
  8. Let Them Set: Return the cookies to the fridge for about 20 more minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use heavy cream. Consider adding nuts or peanut butter for variations.
