Step-by-Step Instructions for No-Bake Samoa Cookies
  1. Begin by preheating a skillet over medium heat. Add the unsweetened shredded coconut and stir frequently for about 3-5 minutes, until it turns golden brown and fragrant.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips with a tablespoon of coconut oil or butter. Heat in the microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted.
  3. In a separate bowl, melt the soft caramel candies with either milk or heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring frequently until smooth.
  4. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion the caramel-coconut mixture onto the chocolate bases and flatten each mound slightly.
  5. Drizzle the remaining melted chocolate generously over each cookie.
  6. Refrigerate the assembled cookies for about 15-20 minutes to set.
