That needs an early $, see man procmailrc:
  $    Evaluate the remainder of this condition according to
       sh(1) substitution rules inside double  quotes,  skip
       leading whitespace, then reparse it.

What exactly does that mean?

Well, it means that $VAR will be expanded with the contents of $VAR and then the resulting command will be reparsed.

VAR="My Sample Text"

* B ?? $VAR

searches for "$VAR" in the body.

* $ B ?? $VAR

searches for "My Sample Text" in the body.
