Our family is going to a Kentucky Derby party and I was asked to bring something for the kids. Bourbon was out, anything with mint seemed iffy, so I decided to use Todd’s suggestion of making something with oats “in honor of the horses”.

In our region, these popular Girl Scout cookies are called Caramel Delites, but we call them Samoas anyway.

Either way, ours are all [...]
