When it comes to me and ooey, gooey, chocolately, carby delicious treats, I will find any justification I can for wolfing it down. (She says as picks away at a Zucchini Cranberry muffin…) This morning, case in point, I woke up extra early and took Huck on a nice walk before work. So, in my head a 25 minute walk justifies a 400 calorie muffin. Like I said, the champ of justifications. Then there are the times that treats need no justification.
But really, I just use anything to justify doing something else. And I’m not talking anything bad – really, I’m too boring to be bad. I work full time, blog full time, and then have a house to attempt to keep. So I will gladly use that as a justification for wearing yoga pants all weekend long, and not washing my hair.
Ben is a really lucky man, can’t you tell?
Let’s use Target for instance – by now I should really know that even though I only have one thing on my Target list, ONE, I should really just plan on spending no less than $50 in there. The dollar bins at the front of the store are my downfall, along with anything in their travel size toilettre section. I can’t tell you how many half used packs of eye makeup remover wipes cloths, or different mini bottles of dry shampoo I have from there. They’re taking up half the space under the sink in our bathroom. It’s a sicknes.

My justification for Girl Scout cookies, particularly Samoa – well, that one is where the wheels really fall off the wagon. I have absolutely no self control and will either use every justification under the sun to buy those cute little Girl Scouts out of their stock of Samoas, and donate a box or two to Operation Cookie Drop (of course), and then immediately crap open a box in my car to hold myself over for that long five minute slog from the store to home. Like I said, justification.
But my love of the Girl Scouts, goes beyond their cookies. I grew up participating in Girl Scouts all the way through middle school and loved the adventures, skills and time to being a kid. So many valuable lessons were learned and memories were made that I treasure to this day.

What amazing recipes you have! I love Girl Scout Cookies!
I stay in yoga pants all weekend also! And wash my hair?! PSSHHH AS IF. The.Boy honestly doesn’t seem to care.
I wish our Target sold Girl Scout Cookies! I’ll just be dreaming about these no-bake cheesecakes until some magically appear in my life(/I hunt down a local girl scout troop and persuade them to sell me some)
This recipe will be the winner. I just have this feeling ;)! I’m loving these desserts.
I just love your love of samoas! I like to use the “I’ve had a hard day at work” to justify eeeeeeee’erything under the sun, even if it was a perfectly normal day. I must pick up a box of samoas from the cute little girl scouts outside my grocery store and start making these fan freaking tastic samoa treats!
OH BOY!! These look dreamy!!
Mmmm…I love a no-bake cheesecake!
Good luck in the contest! 🙂
You and your samoas, girl. haha! I’ll admit, my favorites are tagalongs!
Um, holy moly. If I didn’t already know I’d eat the whole box of Samoas first, I would be making these in a heartbeat! Ah well, gotta buy extra boxes then! Amazing recipe.
Girl! You are on a girl scout cookie roll and these are amazing!!Good luck with the contest! 🙂
I can’t turn down samoas! This cheesecake has to happen soon!

I’ve never had a samoa, although I think I should make that brownie samoa recipe you were talking about so I can see what all the fuss is about! I live in a Canada and we have Girl Guides here – I don’t think they sell samoas. They have maple flavoured cookies though – naturally! 🙂
PS You might want to catch the typo where you ‘crap open a box’ in the car – it’s hilarious but it might lead to some confusion about your true feelings for samoas 🙂
LOL, Oh my gosh Amy – THANK YOU for catching that typo!! How embarrassing!!
Oh my, these are on my must make list!
How cute are those? And I love that they are no bake!
Ooey, and gooey desserts always win! This looks creamy and delicious, and I can find any reason in the world to eat it all!
You have nailed this!
Those look absolutely sinful…super yum.
Yes to everything about this recipe! I am in love!
Drooling over this cheesecake! I am always after no bake desserts! Can’t wait to try this!

Hey there,
this recipe looks gorgeous, i can’t get the Girl Scout Samoa cookies in NZ, so wondering if you’d have an alternative here?
Thanks!
If you can find a shortbread cookie with caramel and chocolate, those would be a perfect substitution.
