My granddaughter sold Girl Scout cookies this year for the first
time. To make a good showing and to gain gramma points, I bought a
bunch. IT Guy's favorites are the Caramel deLites...aka Samoa's. Why did
they change the name, anyway? I'm not sure if the Caramel deLites are
best sellers or not but I know they're always popular. So popular, in
fact, that one big-time cookie maker finally caught on and now make
their won version. Those little elves do a great job in putting out a
good cookie, no doubt, but there's something about getting them from the
Girl Scouts that makes them extra yummy. My dilemma was to figure out
what to do with all the cookies besides letting IT Guy put himself into a
cookie coma by eating them all in one sitting. So I hid a few boxes for
later then decided to make a cake with some. This cake is extra yummy
and was a big hit around the SFFS house. I bet it would be a hit in your
house, too!
Caramel deLite Poke Cake
1 devil's food cake mix (plus the stuff to make it)
1 12-ounce jar caramel ice cream topping
1 12-ounce jar chocolate ice cream topping
1 box Caramel deLite cookies (Girl Scout or Keebler) ~ chopped
2 cups shredded coconut ~ divided use
Prepare cake mix and bake according to package directions for a 9x13 inch pan, adding 1 cup of coconut to the batter.
Toast remaining 1 cup coconut. Set aside.
After cake is baked but while it's still warm, poke holes all over the top.
Warm the caramel topping in the microwave for a 15 - 30 seconds.
Drizzle 1/2 of the warm topping over the cake into the holes.
Allow to cool.
When cake has cooled, sprinkle cake with cookies and toasted coconut.
Warm the rest of the caramel topping and the chocolate topping in the microwave.
Drizzle remaining caramel and 1/2 of the chocolate....or all of it if you want...all over the cake.
Chill completely then serve.
Welcome!
Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!
