It's late, I want cookies... Specifically I want those coconuts girl scout cookies...

[Agschmid]

Someone locate a girl scout, I need to place an order, STAT!



a.k.a Samoas appreciation thread.

1. For the first time in my DU career, I regret that I can 'Rec' a thread only once

I could eat a case of those things right now...

[Agschmid]

2. Just one...

come on be honest. I'm sick of people being dishonest here lately.

3. Believe it or not

they have the Samoas at Dollar General. I usually buy a box of those about once a month since I live about three blocks away from the store. They also have the chocolate mint cookies.

4. WHAT!

The real things....?

Not some imitation?

[TexasTowelie]

5. It sure as heck looks and tastes like the real thing to me.

Look for the name Caramel DeLites. They have chocolate, caramel and coconuts and run about $2.50 a box. They may be an imitation, but only a truly discerning palate would be able to tell the difference.

Did I just make your day?

[Agschmid]

6. Ha you made my life...

Now if only they were open right now...

It's 22 minutes away I googled it!

[TexasTowelie]

7. All right!

Give them a try and let me know what you think. They might have a little less coconut or a different type of chocolate, but I think they'll do in a pinch between the Girl Scout cookie drives and they cost a bit less also. The only problem I've noticed is that Dollar General has some difficulty keeping them in stock (which is true for a lot of products there).

The chocolate mints are also very close to the Girl Scout version.

The packaging is very generic looking--the same size as the Girl Scout boxes, white cardboard with black letters and a picture on the front.

8. The Keebler elves also make a knock off of these

I've seen them in the grocery store, tried them once and they were really good. Those are my favorite Girl Scout cookies, too. Keebler also makes the chocolate covered peanut butter ones.

12. I'll 2nd that Rhiannon. Samoas are my favorite GS cookie and Coconut Dreams taste just like them.

Plus (shhh!) you get more in the package!

[Rhiannon12866]

13. Well, this is something that the OP should know, LOL

These are my favorites and also like the covered peanut butter ones and have found both of them in the grocery store. This is the perfect solution for those of us who don't know any Girl Scouts...

9. Try the Ice Cream.

Most stores carry it.

Or, Keebler has a knock-off Somoa that's pretty decent too.

10. I've got a box at my place.

I can be reasonable concerning renumeration.

11. Someone told me that Aldi has a decent knock-off of the Samoas.
