If you like Girl Scouts cookies, you’ll LOVE these Girls Scouts Samoas Larabars!

Girl Scouts cookies hold a special place in my heart. Although I was never a scout, I looked forward to cookie season every year. My favorite was and still is the Samoas. Of course, anything with chocolate and coconut sounds great  to me!

These homemade Larabars are sooooo easy to make and they taste very similar to the actual Samoas cookie. An added benefit is that they are made with all natural ingredients unlike the cookies. These Samoas Larabars combine dates, coconut, nuts, chocolate chips, and vanilla to create a chewy bar that satisfies hunger like no other.

Larabars make great snacks because they contain no added sugar. Pureed dates provide all the sweetness they need. These bars are one of the the foods I like to take on road trips. Although refrigeration is recommended to preserve these bars, it is not required. So you can take them along on a picnic, road trip, or packed lunch.

Try these out for yourself and decide which you like better, the cookie or this larabar? I’m thinking you’re going to pick the later.
