If you love Caramel deLites or Samoa Girl Scout Cookies, then these easy Samoa Truffles are going to drive your taste buds crazy! These taste like your favorite girl scout cooking made in bite size truffle form.
Both my husband and I will say “yes” independently to any Girl Scout who asks. And let’s not forget the girls at the grocery store every weekend…I’ve fallen for that trap too! In any case, by the end of the spring, our cupboards and freezer are bursting with boxes of our favorite cookies!
I’m not always good at simple. Except when it comes to food, of course. But in everyday life, simplicity is a challenge for me! I’m a do-er, a scheduler, a busy body. I’m someone who always tries to make time for one more thing….and in the process, I end up trading simplicity for craziness!
