Homemade Samoa Bars

FAILURE

These really weren’t a total failure—in fact, they tasted great!  They just didn’t taste like Samoa’s.  I used extra chocolate chips, pecans, and coconut and it was delish.  I also drizzled some caramel over the top of part of the bars to see if it tasted more Samoa-y, which it didn't, but it was still WONDERFUL!

Tips/Thoughts:
  • When I make these again, I think that I will probably layer a little differently—the condensed milk is really the glue that holds these bars together, but it was really hard (aka impossible) to spread on top of the chocolate chips and pecans.  I will put the condensed milk directly on the graham cracker crust so I can spread it, then the pecans and coconut with the chocolate chips on top (so they melt and hold the pecans and coconut on)
  • I made these before Christmas & sealed them in a tupperware in our fridge.  When I came back they were still good--I would put this shelf life (sealed & refrigerated) at about 3 weeks


Why yes, that is my fork in the corner there
