How to Make Samoas Caramel Delites Gluten Free

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, salt, and sugar. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking sheet to form a thin crust. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  4. While the crust is baking, prepare the caramel. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the caramel thickens slightly.
  6. Once the shortbread is baked and slightly cooled, evenly spread the caramel over the crust.
  7. In a separate bowl, combine the melted chocolate and coconut flakes. Spread this mixture evenly over the caramel layer.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
  9. Cut into squares and enjoy! Store leftover cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
