If you love the Somas offered by Girl Scouts, here is a recipe that allows you to have them all year round. A friend of mine makes these and was gracious enough to give out the recipe. WIth her permission, I put it out there to the world.

Dip the bottoms of 24 shortbread cookies in melted chocolate. Cool till hardened then place in greased muffin tins.
In a sauce pan, combine:

6 T butter

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup white corn syrup.

Heat to a boil, stirring constantly for 3 minutes.

Slowly pour 1/2 cup Eagle Brand Milk into mixture, stirring constantly until it reaches 200 degrees or becomes bubbly and thick.
Remove from heat and add 1/2 tsp vanilla. Beat until creamy then add 4 cups toasted coconut. Spoon over cookies; cool, remove from muffin tin and drizzle melted chocolate over (maybe 1 cup melted chocolate chips). Yum!!
