    Ingredients

    Shortbread Cookie:

    • 1 Cup Butter
    • 1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar
    • 1/4 Cup Maple Syrup
    • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
    • 2 1/4 Cup Flour
    • Salt

    Caramel Layer:

    • 2 3.5oz Bags of Cocomels, unwrapped (mix up the flavors!)
    • 1 Tablespoon Milk

    Chocolate Layer:

    • 1 Cup Chocolate Chips
    • 1 Teaspoon Coconut Oil

    Method

    A. To make the Shortbread Cookies:

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
    2. In large bowl, mix butter until creamy. Then add maple syrup, vanilla, and powdered sugar and mix until smooth.
    3. Add flour and salt and mix until a dough forms.
    4. Transfer dough onto parchment paper and roll into 1/4″-1/2″ thick slab. Cut into circles (or your favorite cookie cutter shapes).
    5. Spread cookies on parchment paper on sheet tray so that they are equally spaced. Use a fork to poke 3 sets of holes into the cookies to avoid bubbling.
    6. Bake for 14 minutes. Cookies should be pretty firm and the edges should be slightly golden brown.
    7. Move cookies to cooling rack.

    B. To make the Caramel Layer:

    1. Place unwrapped Cocomels in a microwave safe bowl with 1/2 tablespoon of milk.
    2. Microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring after each time, until they are completely melted.
    3. Allow caramel to sit for a little bit to thicken. Don’t wait too long or the caramel will be too hard to spread!
    4. Using a spoon, spread the caramel mixture evenly over each cookie. Place in refrigerator for 5-10 minutes or until caramel is solid.

    C. To make the Chocolate Layer:

    1. While the caramel layer is setting up, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl for 30 second intervals, stirring after each time.
    2. Remove the cookies from fridge and spoon chocolate evenly over the top of the cookies.
    3. Return cookies to fridge for 10-15 minutes or until the chocolate layer is firm.

    D. Once cookies are complete, ENJOY!

  • Thanksgiving Time!

    Thanksgiving Time!

    We’re only one week away from Turkey Day! Are you ready?

    With Thanksgiving around the corner (literally), we know that some people can be stressed and worried about their turkeys and can’t make a decision on what turkey to get. So we’ve made it easier for you! A member of our Basil Bandwagon crew has figured out how to choose your turkey while you figure out how to deal with that Aunt Doris of yours (you’ll understand soon). If you need a little humor while choosing which turkey will be better for you and your family, click on the picture below and read “The Turkey Dilemma.”

    Thanksgiving is that time of year where everyone runs around because they realized that they forgot that one pumpkin pie ingredient and it’s sold out everywhere – except at Basil Bandwagon. And to make it even sweeter, we’ve got it on sale! Make sure you head on down to your local Basil Bandwagon to save big while you stock up.

    But before you stop on over, make sure you’ve figured out exactly what you’re missing using our Thanksgiving Menu Planner! We realized that there are so many courses to Turkey Day that sometimes you forget something – so we’ve made it easy for you!

    After you figure out the perfect Basil Bandwagon Thanksgiving dinner, make sure you check out our Pinterest-Inspired Thanksgiving Board for more ideas! We’ve got anything that you can imagine from paleo recipes to kids crafts to thankful decorations.
