Samoas Dip

posted by Ashton February 22, 2012

Let me just begin this post by saying: Samoas Week may be the best thing I’ve ever done.
Ever.
ohhhhhhhhhh. emmmmmmmm. geeeeeeeeeeeee.
(omg)
This dip was incredible.
I almost didn’t make it. 
Because I felt like I was kind of beating a dead horse with the dip thing 
(after the toffee doodle dip, the monster cookie dough dip, and the red velvet cake batter dip).
And because I haven’t done a Samoas recipe yet this week with actual Samoas in it 
(but don’t worry, those are coming!).
And because it kind of looks like the Samoas Pudding Mousse I did on Monday.
So I thought– maybe this dip isn’t the best idea.
So. Totally. Wrong.
It may very well be the best idea I’ve ever had.
And I’m being completely serious.
Samoas Dip

6018026
Ingredients:
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, cold
  • 8 oz. butter or margarine, cold
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 sleeve shortbread cookies (like Lorna Doone)
  • 1 cup (or more, easily) toasted coconut
  • 1 cup Caramel Hershey Kisses
  • Semi-Sweet Chocolate for drizzling
Instructions:
  1. Using a paddle attachment, cream the butter and the cream cheese.
  2. Add in the cookies, and mix on high (so the cookies are good and crushed).
  3. Mix in the powdered sugar, until fully incorporated.
  4. Add Hershey kisses, and mix on high so they get broken up really well.
  5. Fold in the toasted coconut with a rubber spatula (I could have easily enjoyed way more coconut in this than 1 cup– but I was afraid of overdoing it).
  6. Serve with apples and graham crackers!

And since I know you don’t really believe me when I tell you to eat it with fruit…
You don’t mind if I double dip, do you?
…’cause I just did :)
Oh, and speaking of apples– be sure to be here on Thursday. 
I’m posting an extra recipe this week after my link party!!
