I mean, it is so short!!
Wahooooo!
Really though, in all seriousness this has to be one of my shortest titles yet. See, I am sort of a freak when it comes to my titles. Some people have actually told me they find my titles annoyingly long, but I cannot help it. I just want to fit all the deliciousness of the said recipe into the recipe name. Unfortunately, they then end up being a million miles long because I simply cannot leave anything out. To me, I totally think you guys need to know that a single recipe may contain brown butter, salted caramel, toasted coconut and spiced whipped cream + a chocolate drizzle. It’s good stuff and I can’t leave anything out. I just can’t, it’s too hard. So, sorry if you hate my long and obnoxious recipe names, this one may be short, but I wouldn’t get used to it if I where you.
Anyway, this recipe is all about coconut, caramel and chocolate. Classic Samoa cookie flavors, but I turned them into cute little chocolate macaroon tarts. They are so fun. I kind of love them. A lot.
How do you guys feel about these in between seasons days? It is not yet fall, but summer is clearly winding down and clearly I am craving a little of the cozier foods. I am kind of at this point where I really do not know what to make for this time of year. The local apples have not yet arrived, and I am not going to start in on any pumpkin until it is officially fall, so that leaves the in between foods. The foods you can make anytime of the year. For me, that seemed to scream chocolate and coconut. I went for the caramel flavor too because caramel is so fall-like and I thought it’d be a nice addition + a good way to ease into the fall-ish foods. How could it not be??
These are actually pretty easy to make. The crust is basically just toasted coconut. Which quite simply means, delicious. I love toasted coconut anything… especially paired with chocolate and caramel and more chocolate. The filling is a gooey chocolate mixture and the top is just like a classic samoa cookie. Caramel mixed with sweetened coconut.
You can eat these warm right out of the oven, which is my favorite. Or at room temp, which is awesome as well – whatever you are feeling.
And really, that center is unreal. Happiest Friday indeed!!
