    I am proud to report that I have knocked out an ENTIRE box pretty much daily. I did a package of Thanks A Lots, a box of Shoutouts, and I did a box of Lemonades today. Lemonades are my FAVORITE and seriously the best cookie I've ever eaten! I have 2 boxes of them left and I have told local girl scouts I will shoot them if they even look at me. It is hard to gain weight quickly, but I swear I have eaten 3500+ cals over MAINTENANCE this week. I can't even sigh if I weigh more at my next weigh in.

    I may or may not have purchased 6 boxes today. 3 thin mints, 2 samoas, and 1 savannah smiles. This is all for research purposes... cough... I will figure out good homemade recipes that actually taste dead on soon. I am determined. Even if it means buying 6 more boxes.

    I am also a fellow Samoa lover! Here's a recipe for a lighter version of somoas that my great friend sent me from Shape magazine this month. I haven't tried them yet but they sound yummy and they are way less calories than the original! Thanks to my friend and Shape magazine for sharing!!

    1/2 c. sweetened coconut
    24 reduced-fat Nilla wafers
    Parchment paper
    12 chewy caramels
    1/4 c. skim milk
    1 oz. dark or semisweet chocolate chips (3Tbsp)

    Heat oven to 300 degrees. On a baking sheet, toast coconut, turning every 5 minutes, until golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool. Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper; set wafers on top. In a bowl, microwave caramels and milk on high, stirring often, until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. With a spatula, fold coconut into caramel mixture. Spread 1 Tbsp mixture onto each wafer. Let cookies cool 5 minutes. Microwave chocolate, stirring often, until melted,1 to 2 minutes. Transfer into a small resealable bag; snip off corner. Drizzle cookies with chocolate; let cool.

    Makes 24 cookies

    My husband came with 5 boxes of it. I try to control with one or at most two, they are too caloric. But they are delicious!
