Girl Scout cookies are hard to resist. And I love buying a few boxes of Somoas when the season comes around and sticking them in the freezer. But they’re not always available year – round! & They’re not healthy either. So try this healthy Samoa recipe out if you want to snack on these decadent treats year round.
