No need to wait for the Girl Scouts to set up their table outside a grocery store or knock on your door.

You can have the wonderful taste of the Samoa Cookies anytime you want with this “to-die-for” recipe.

What a commitment! I mean those little girls in the cute green outfits and decorated sashes are really serious about sales. And we are not talking about cashing in on a few crumbs.

Revenue from the sales of Girl Scout cookies has been around $700 million since 1999.

You go Girl Scouts!  Way to learn some valuable sales skills, as well as make a whole lotta people happy!

People look forward to their cookies all year and for good reason. They are amazingly memorable.

Just like this dessert.

This is what Alyssa of the Recipe Critic has to say about this creative recipe.

A chocolate Oreo crust with creamy cheesecake in the center and topped with coconut caramel and drizzled in chocolate.  All of the things that you love in a Samoa Cookie in a delicious cheesecake dessert!

This pie has everything but the kitchen sink. Plus, it is a no-bake recipe!

When this recipe said it had it all I had no idea that this was a mile high pie that piled onto a homemade graham cracker crust. I mean how can you possible go wrong with that?

Because this pie is so rich you can serve in smaller slices but to be honest with you, I think this will be such a hit at your next gathering you might want to go ahead and make an extra! Thankfully bananas are in season all year around no matter what part of the country so no matter what time of you you need something that will knock everyone’s socks off, you can always make this.

I love that this recipe came with the ingredients and directions on how to make your own graham cracker crust. I love being able to make my pies in my favorite glass pie dishes instead fo a flimsy foil one that the store bought crust comes in. I have almost had one of those fold in half before they are so thin..and the pie was still in it, now that would have been a disaster!
So there you go, you got this!

This is what Aimee of Shugary Sweets has to say about this recipe that she made from her fellow blogger’s new cookbook.

When I told her I would review and share one of the recipes from her book, it was so hard to choose. But of course, I had to go with a dessert. And since Banana Cream Pie is one of my favorite flavors of pie (EVER), I knew this would be the one.

There was a big bowl of this on each card table, and my mom always made sure to make extra for us kids.

My parents belonged to a couples Bunco group for years. Sure it was fun to play and see who won the prizes in the dice rolling game that reminded me of Yahtzee. The biggest benefit was that for years, the couples got together at each other’s homes, enjoyed a meal together and visited.

Since there were six couples in the group, my parents hosted the night twice a year. I always knew when it was going to be at our house.

My mom would always make the best snacks to put on the tables. Sometimes she would bake something, but she almost always had homemade caramel corn. It usually was gone by the end of the night because it was just so tasty and addicting. Who could just eat one small handful?

I still make caramel corn, but I had never made it in the microwave before! That is brilliant since the oven version takes an hour with stirring every 15 minutes. So to be able to make this in 10 minutes, WOW..we might just have it a little more often.

This is what Emily of Layers of Happiness has to say about this easy to make treat.

Caramel corn that is made in the microwave, but tastes like something you could buy from a state fair. This stuff if gold. Made with only 5 ingredients and in less than 10 minutes!

Quick Tip: If you don’t have corn syrup go ahead and make this with honey.
