I was never a big Thin Mint fan, but having to say good-bye to Girl Scout Samoas Cookies was painful. About a year ago, I decided to try to recreate the taste of Samoas in a cereal bar. A mixture of Rice Chex, marshmallows, coconut and the most important ingredient, butterscotch chips, make this a delicious snack with a Samoas twist. It comes together fast and is a perfect snack when you have a sweet tooth. Enjoy!
Samoas Cereal Bars
1/2 pkg. mini marshmallows
2 Tbsp. butter
1/2 c. butterscotch chips
4-4 1/2 c. Rice Chex
Drop coconut flavoring
3 heaping Tbsp. toasted coconut
Chocolate chips, melted, to drizzle on top
Melt butter in saucepan. Add marshmallows and stir until melted. Add chips and melt completely; add flavoring. Mix until smooth; do not burn! Combine Chex and coconut in bowl; add marshmallow mixture and stir until combined. Pour mixture into 8x8 greased pan and press firmly down with greased hand. Let cool; drizzle chocolate over top. Cut into squares and enjoy the Samoas-y goodness!!!
