Get the Recipe: Paleo Samoa Bars
These Paleo Samoa Bars have the best layers and flavors! A shortbread cookie layer is topped with homemade caramel, coconut flakes and melted chocolate. This fun take on the classic Girl Scout cookie will become a new favorite!
Ingredients
Shortbread Layer
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Caramel Layer
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup coconut flakes
Toppings
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line an 8 inch by 8 inch pan with parchment paper.
- Make shortbread layer first. Add shortbread ingredients to a large mixing bowl or KitchenAid and stir until combined.
- Press shortbread layer into one even layer in pan.
- Then, bake for 11 to 12 minutes or until edges are slightly crispy and middle is set.
- While the shortbread layer bakes, make the caramel. Add caramel ingredients except coconut flakes to a skillet over medium heat. Then, bring to a boil then simmer for 10 minutes or until thickened. Stir every 1 to 2 minutes to prevent burning. Once thick, stir in coconut flakes.
- Once shortbread layer has cooled 5 minutes, pour caramel coconut mixture on top. Place pan in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Then, make chocolate drizzle. Add dark chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave safe dish and melt in 30 second increments.
- Drizzle chocolate on top of bars. Finally, freeze for 20 minutes or until hardened before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Keep a close eye on caramel to prevent burning.
- Bake shortbread crust until slightly golden.
- Freeze caramel layer before drizzling with chocolate.
- Freeze bars if desired.
- Store Paleo Samoa Bars in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer. I highly recommend not storing them at room temperature.
