y order is placed (Samoas and Thin Mints) so now I just have to sit back and WAIT (that is the hard part!). I was thinking about Samoa cookies the other day and thought that it would be yummy to try a Samoa cupcake, so I started playing around with some of the ingredients and this is what I came up with. No offense, but they were delicious. I seriously ate them for breakfast. And lunch. :)

Cupcake:
1 (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
Eggs, oil, and water called for on cake mix box
1 (14 oz) jar caramel syrup (like ice cream topping syrup)

Chocolate Ganache:
1 (12 oz) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips (could also use milk chocolate)
3/4 cup butter
Gooey Coconut Layer:
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
3 egg yolks (beaten slightly)
1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine or butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 3/4 cup coconut

Prepare cake mix as directed on cake mix box (or use your favorite homemade yellow cake mix recipe). Bake as directed and let cool completely. Once cool, take a small sharp knife and cut a circle in the top...
