Samoa Brownies! - My Incredible Recipes (4)

They used caramels, but after trying those, on the first round of making these, I found that it was a bit too chewy for me when it sat for awhile, so I tried one of my all time favorite things I use to make my famous caramel hot chocolate

– Dulce de leche! which is caramel condensed milk basically 🙂

The flavors are outstanding!

They taste exactly like a samoa cookie-only better!

I probably ate WAY more of these than any one person should in one day…lol

      Isn’t the carmel the mixture of La Lechura and evaporated milk?

      The carmel is what you make when you microwave the La Lechera and evaporated milk.

    This sounds wonderful! I think you mean a 13.4 oz can of dulce de leche, not 3.4 oz can. We can’t be skimping on our caramel here, can we?

    • Pat Reid says

      I buy it at WalMart. It is with the canned milk products.

    Please specify caramel La Lechera. Please specify 2 % or regular evaporated milk. Please specify chocolate-sweetened, unsweetened, semi-sweet, milk. Thank you.

      Caramel sweetened condensed milk.
      Chocolate chips. If she didn’t specify, then it is up to your flavor discretion. A Girl Scout Cookie would be regular chocolate. But altering the chocolate to your taste works…

      Some are confusing the sweetened condensed milk with evaporated can milk. They’re not the same thing at all.

    La Lechera is a brand name of condensed milk. Just use a thick caramel sauce! Not every store carries caramel flavored condensed milk.

    Reply

  15. Chasity says

    I saw the caramel sauce at Wal-Mart, you can also make the sauce with condensed milk. Google how, takes a few hours if you make your own. And yes La Lachera is caramel sauce. I’m making this now, I love the girl scout cookies so I hope this turns out the same!

    Where do you find La Lechera? I looked at my local grocery store and could not find it. I looked in the baking section and the ethnic food aisle. Thanks!

    just boil a can of any sweetened condensed milk for 30 minutes (in the can in the boiling water) and you have real dulce de leche not flavored. I don’t knw about eh La Lechera brand specifically, but real caramel is made from sugar and milk, with butter added. No artificial flavors needed.
