    We were on our way to the library last weekend…when we saw this.

    girl scout drive thru

    And then, the van magically steered itself right now over.

    (I swear it did. I had nothing to do with it.)

    I love me some Thin Mints. And frozen thin mints…they’re like cookie crack, y’all. (It’s tough to limit yourself to one sleeve. Yes, I said sleeve.)

    I wanted to pull together some different and creative recipes that use Girl Scout cookies. You know, in the event that you would have any left to actually use in a recipe.

    (And if you do, I applaud you…you have more self-control than I!)

    What’s your favorite kind of girl scout cookie? And do you have a favorite recipe to make with them? (Or are you a purist and eat them only straight from the box!?)

    happy munching y’all…erin

      I was a Girl Scout and, when my daughter was a GS, I was a leader. I was even a leader before she was born, I was that into Girl Scouts. BUT, when I found out last year that some of that “cookie money” was going to Planned Parenthood, I swore off. Now, I loves me some Thin Mints, but I don’t think we should send those adorable little Scouts out to raise money to kill babies, so I am doing my part to not support that practice.

      Girl Scouts are not associated with Planned Parenthood. That was a big issue last year when someone stated this. But it is not true in any way shape or form. I would be happy to pass on the statement from Girl Scouts regarding this if you are interested. I hate to think you have a bad impression of Girl Scouts.
