We love Girl Scout cookies, especially Samoas, but you can only buy those once a year. I started tweaking a tried-and-true no-bake cookie recipe and wound up with this Samoa taste-alike. It's a great recipe to make with kids! —Donna Gribbins, Shelbyville, Kentucky

Ingredients

1 package (11 ounces) vanilla wafers, finely crushed
1 package (7 ounces) sweetened shredded coconut, toasted
1 can (13.4 ounces) dulce de leche
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
2 cups milk chocolate chips
