Gluten Free No Bake Samoa Cookie Bars

Are you a fan of Samoa Girl Scout cookies? If you answered yes, then this no bake, gluten free copycat version, is going to be your favorite!

True story…When I was little, I used to put my Samoa Girl Scout cookies in the freezer. I just liked them better that way, lol! Who knew many years later (let’s not talk about how many years) that I would be making my own version that requires a freezer sesh?!?!

You’re definitely going to want to make two or three batches of these. Trust me, they go fast! Feel free to leave me a comment below, to let me know.

Many Hugs,
