Step-by-Step Instructions for Samoa Bark
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with foil for easy cleanup.

  3. Break the Lorna Doone cookies into bite-sized pieces and set them aside in a bowl.
  4. Combine the Peter's caramel and a splash of water in a microwavable bowl and microwave in 30-second increments until smooth.
  5. Melt the Ghirardelli melting chocolate wafers in another bowl using the same microwave method.
  6. Spread the melted chocolate into an 8"x6" rectangle on parchment paper.
  7. Sprinkle the cookie pieces and toasted coconut over the melted chocolate and press down gently.
