Samoa Donuts

Those of you who know me, know I am more of a Tagalong Cookie lover. I mean come one, peanut butter and chocolate are one of the best food combinations known to man. But bored one afternoon & I was thinking about my recent overdose of my Tagalong Blondies, to which I was still recovering from, I decided I was in the mood to make another Girl Scout Cookie inspired recipe.

That is when I came up with the idea for Samoa Donuts. Oh the idea delighted me! And in all honesty I thought I would be safe from a sugar and chocolate over load with these since I am not the biggest Samoa fan. So I whipped these up, and realized that I was wrong, oh so very wrong! These are amazing! Like out of the world, to to die for! Better than the original Girl Scout Samoa Cookie! There I said it, really it is! I also learned  that one should never assume they won’t like something that is until they have tried it, hmmm sounds like something I would say to my kids.
