Samoas Cookie Dip

Outrageous.

 

There are not a whole lot of things on the planet that can step in front of my love for Samoas.  In fact, I secretly loathe that time of the year when the Girl Scouts come out because I know that I will spend too much on too many boxes and eat way too many of those cookies.  They are easily my favorite door-to-door cookie and anything that tastes like Samoas makes me equally as happy.

 

Coconut is one of my all-time favorite additions to dessert, and when that coconut is sitting atop a pile of chocolate and caramel...  I mean, seriously, I don't even know how to finish that sentence.  It's too good.  It's dangerously good.  Like the kind of good where you can't stop and the buttons of your jeans pop off at inopportune times. 

 

That good.

 

This dip is worse than that.  It's got everything that makes a Samoa the gift from God I hold it up to be, but with a little extra cream cheese and butter.  Not exactly something your personal trainer is going to be pleased about.   But then again, I always use the same theory,  As long as I don't make it everyday, I will be absolutely fine.  Everything in moderation, right?

 

Yeah, lets hope I can actually moderate my intake of this creamy, sweet concoction...
