First, have you entered to win a new iPad? Along with 9 other bloggers, I am giving away a new iPad for the New Year. As a way to say THANK YOU to all of you, for your support in this blogging adventure! {Click HERE to go enter the giveaway}
I know. I started the new year by sharing a salad recipe. A SALAD RECIPE. (a very good salad recipe though). Are you all mad at me? Can I make up for my silly mistake by sharing some sugar now?
I still have a freezer full of Christmas cookies I need to eat my way through, and now it’s almost time to buy girl scout cookies?
This fudge is my twist on a girl scout cookie. My FAVORITE of all girl scout cookies.
Samoas. Or Caramel deLites.
I used coconut pudding mix to give the fudge a creamy coconut and white chocolate flavor. I added in some caramel and swirled it through the fudge. Then, topped it with chocolate and toasted coconut to give the appearance of the Samoa cookie.
You’re going to love this one!!! If you don’t, I will gladly accept all leftovers.

Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1 pkg (11oz) white chocolate morsels
- 1 pkg (3oz) coconut cream JELL-O pudding mix
- 1 jar (7oz) marshmallow fluff
- 2 cup Kraft caramel bits
- 1 tsp heavy cream
- 3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate morsels
- 1 cup toasted coconut
Instructions
- Toast coconut according to package directions. I use sweetened coconut flakes. Set aside to cool.
- Melt caramel bits with 1 tsp heavy cream in microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan, heat butter, cream, sugar ans alt on medium high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring contantly. When it begins to boil, set timer for about 5 minutes, stirring continuously.
- Remove from heat. Pour into a mixing bowl and using a stand mixer whisk together the pudding mix, white chocolate and marshmallow fluff until combined (and chocolate is smooth).
- Immediately pour into a parchment paper lined 13x9 baking dish.
- Pour caramel over top of fudge (it will be thick). Use a knife to spread and swirl it into the fudge (don't worry if the top of the fudge looks bumpy).
- Refrigerate fudge for 2-3 hours until set.
- Melt semi sweet morsels. Spread over set fudge and sprinkle generously with toasted coconut. Cut into bites and enjoy. Store in covered container in refrigerator.

You are my Idol! Samoas are the only GS cookies I will still shell out the big bucks for. And then when I do get them, I hide them from everyone else. I have to, I mean come on, how many cookies are in the box these days, 12? Maybe 14? Not enough to share. I can’t wait to try this fudge!
Joan@Chocolateandmore recently posted..Thursday’s Treasures
I always buy at LEAST one box for myself and hide in the back of the freezer. Behind the brussel sprouts and spinach!
Can you believe Jordan quit girl scouts right before cookie sales? I’m happy and sad about that. This fudge will get me in the mood.
Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust recently posted..Banana Breakfast Cookies

Alexis AKA MOM recently posted..Baked Butternut Squash Fries
Oh this sounds soooo good. I am going to try it. One question, do you use instant pudding or the cooked kind?
i need the answer to this question, too – please!!!
I used regular (not instant) because that’s what I had on hand. But if you have instant that would work too.
aimee @ shugarysweets recently posted..Butterscotch Shortbread Bars
Thank you so much for answering my question. Got all the ingredients to make it now!
This fudge is simply amazing, Aimee! Samoas are my FAVORITE Girl Scout cookie EVER. I can’t even buy boxes anymore because I am not trustworthy around them AT ALL. I will easily polish off a box in one sitting with no regard for calories, recipe ideas, or the fact that I’ll probably be sick after hehe. This fudge looks awesome and I want some!!

This is the best variation of fudge I’ve ever seen!!
Thanks Steph. It’s one of the best fudge flavors I’ve ever made!
I can’t believe this has just happened. I think I need to go overdose on fudge now, and then stick a glob of somoa ice cream on top of this…yes, that sounds like a happy new year sort of thing to do!
Ala recently posted..Saltine Toffee ‘Crack’-ers: An Ode to a New DSLR!

I love love love anything that tastes like Girl Scout cookies! Since you can’t buy those suckers year round (super sad face) I like to try different ways of making them myself, or similar items that taste like them, and I think this is just perfect!
I would love it if you would link up at Martha Mondays, open now through Wednesday night!

Holly Lefevre recently posted..Berry Cobbler Squares
I made this! and let me tell you it is to die for! YUM!!!!!!!
Holly, so glad you enjoyed the fudge recipe! thanks for the feedback
Does this call for instant pudding or the cook kind?
Samoas are my FAVORITE GS cookie. I may or may not have 3 boxes in my pantry :-S I love the big vein of caramelly goodness in the pictures!
Kelly @ Hdden Fruits and Veggies recently posted..Healthy Gluten Free Donuts with Nuts
I agree with all of the above posts about loving the girl scout cookies and how amazing this fudge looks and all that but I don’t see where anyone has actually tried to make the recipe. On that note I have to say that the product I ended up with after explicitly following the directions seems to look nothing like yours and the consistency is more that of taffy, not fudge. It also does not taste like coconut which surprised me considering the pudding should have given it some extra flavor. I’m not exactly sure what happened. Also, in a 13×9 pan, my concoction is lacking the height your pictures show. Is it a technique thing? Are there instructions I’m missing here? I’m not very experienced at candy making…baking is more my thing. Any ideas what I can do with a pan of white chocolate caramel taffy?
