The holiday season is filled with treats both on complicated side and the easy. Bark is always easy and always a favorite amongst people. This Samoa Bark was a total hit and we have made it multiple times since first creating it a month or so ago.

I LOVE Samoa Girl Scout Cookies and this recipe is inspired by that favorite cookie. It has shortbread, chocolate, caramel and toasted coconut. Together these ingredients provide a variety in texture and flavor creating a treat that will be quickly rise to a new favorite.

If you are looking for a perfect last minute holiday treat, give this one a try! You will not regret and neither will anyone you give it to!

    This sounds delicious but I don’t have Peter’s caramel where I’m from. Is there a from scratch recipe that can be substituted please?
