Delicious 3-Ingredient Girl Scout Cookie Truffles

By Katherine O'Malley at Hamilton College

Whether you call these cookies Caramel Delites (what I grew up calling them), or Samoas, they are in everyones top three favorite Girl Scout cookies. I tried making them homemade once and they came out great, but took forever and were a pain to make. Here’s a recipe for quick 3-ingredient girl scout cookie truffles that perfectly mimic everyone’s favorite cookie.

For dipping the truffles, you can use any chocolate you’d like. I used milk chocolate in the photos here, which is thicker and creamier than other chocolates. You may also use semisweet, bittersweet, or dark chocolate, depending on your preferences.

Similarly, for the salted caramel sauce, you may use store-bought or make your own. I made my own using this recipe and it turned out great.
