Vegan Samoas
Rated 5 stars by 1 users
I love making sweets because when they turn out good, I’m soo excited. I did try to cut back on sweets for the New Year but I heard resolutions were a thing of the past. Back to the point, I was mulling over what to do when Jeremy, our new chef suggested we try making Samoas. WAIT, WHAT? Like girl scout cookie Samoas? And he was like, “yeah but wait…my recipe uses condensed milk.” Jeremy, you’re in luck they now have coconut condensed milk. Salivating I ask, “do you think we can try?” And so we did. I’m not going to even tell you, I’m going to make you try this recipe. You won’t regret it. Well, you may regret if you set New Years resolutions and then continued to eat sweets . It’s part of the job, right?
Also, if you can eat Girl Scout Cookies, obviously order as they are amazing!! And it’s Girl Scout Cookie season so place your orders. I’d just say, for future, keep this recipe on the back burner for your samoa cravings.
