Sure, I'll dunk a stack of shortbreads in my coffee or eat an entire sleeve of Thin Mints (especially if they're straight from the freezer) without hesitation or shame, but this year my sweet tooth's got its money on the new Adventurfuls.
The latest confection in the troupe is described as “indulgent brownie-inspired cookies topped with caramel flavored creme with a hint of sea salt."
This sounds sweet, savory, slightly crunchy and gooey all at the same time – definitely in line with rich, decadent classics like Samoas/Caramel Delites or Peanut Butter Patties/Tagalongs. (The names of Girl Scout cookies depends on which of the two official bakeries made them.)
Lots of Girl Scout cookies have come and gone, including the long-running, citrus-flavored Savannah Smiles (meh) and the flash-in-the-pan-but-still-missed-by-me Dulce de Leche. But I have high hopes for these new Adventurfuls and have the Girl Scout cred to back up my predicition of deliciousness. (By cred I mean I have a green Girl Scout sash in a box in my basement that's adorned with cookie-seller badges.)
But regardless of which biscuit is your most beloved, supporting the Girl Scouts is always a good idea. The inclusive organization is steeped in tradition but also always adapting to the times, from redefining leadership to gluten-free cookies.
