Does anyone out there in blogland like the Samoa girl scout cookies? Well I do. I made these cupcakes with those cookies in mind. However, when I first made them, I used a brownie mix, because I had one on hand, and I stirred caramel into it, and let me tell you, they were like bricks. Yuck. So, the pictures are from that batch, but the directions are for ones that are actually good, and work beautifully.
