These Copycat Samoa Cookie Muffins are inspired by the classic Samoa cookies. If you love a crispy cookie filled with a thin layer of creamy chocolate, toasted coconut, and a homemade caramel sauce, this is the sweet treat you will want to make.  These Samoa cookie muffins are divided into three layers - all of which you will taste in that first bite. The bottom layer is the "cookie" layer, followed by a mixture of melted butter and chocolate, and topped with your homemade caramel sauce and toasted coconut.
