Samoas Apple Salad

I was super excited to do this Girl Scout Cookies series, but I was also a little afraid that I might run out of ideas trying to spread out one cookie over an entire week. 

SO. NOT. THE. CASE.

If anything, I can't get my brain to stop thinking GS Cookies. Ever.

It's actually been kind of awesome. (a little sleep depriving, but awesome)

If you ever have "bloggers block", pick a theme to follow for a week-- that should do the trick!

Anyway. As promised: my extra post for Samoas Week.....

You've probably heard of Snickers Apple Salad. 

I think that's a pretty well-known thing, right?

I tried it for the first time a couple of years ago.

Ah-mazing. Love it.

It's the easiest thing ever, but I never make it.

I sit there and think, "oooooh, remember that snickers apple salad?"

And that's about the extent of the thought/action process.

The other day, as I was scanning Pinterest for recipes that I thought could be turned "Girl Scout Themed," I ran across that Snickers Apple Salad recipe, and realized that Samoas would make an absolutely amazing substitute for the Snickers!

I know I'm always right, but sometimes I surprise my self at HOW right I am.

(My husband is somewhere fighting the unexplainable urge to roll his eyes right now.)

This salad is so great. So easy. And SO Samoas! 

And I do mean so samoas. As in: an entire box.

If you can't part with the whole thing, half the recipe :) 

I'll understand.

Ingredients:

• 1 box Samoas (or Keebler's Caramel Delights)
• 1 - 8 oz Cool Whip Lite
• 4-5 medium apples (granny smith is best)
• Optional: chocolate syrup for drizzling, and toasted coconut for garnish

Instructions:

1. Using the paddle attachment of a stand mixer, mix the cool whip and the cookies on high-- so that the cookies are crushed up really well and incorporated into the cool whip.
2. Core and dice the apples, add into the bowl.
3. Rough chop remaining (reserving 1-2 for garnish) cookies, add into the bowl.
4. Using a rubber spatula, mix until all ingredients are coated in cool whip.
5. Optional: garnish with crumbled cookies, toasted coconut, and a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
6. Refrigerate until serving.
