Yes, indeed, ladies and gents. Three of my favorite things about March are St. Patrick's Day, March Madness, and Girl Scout Cookies! Those little ladies are quite the marketing geniuses and who can blame them with a product like that?
I read an article in Yahoo bringing up the fact that they're now $4 a box and, to that I say, so? They were $3 a box for forever (and worth every penny) but times is tough and I'm fine with paying an extra dollar for the delicious goodness that is Thin Mints.
I've never tried to bake anything that's remotely close to a Girl Scout cookie -- you know why? Because sometimes you have to leave certain things to the experts. Tandoori chicken, King Cake, and Girl Scout cookies shouldn't be attempted at home. Other than those 3, have at it!
I'm definitely a Thin Mint fanatic so that's the flavor I order ever year, along with the ever divine Samoas® (now known by their more PC name, Caramel deLites®). This year I decided to branch out and order some of Lemon Chalet Cremes™ and, trust me, they do not disappoint. I did notice some envy when I saw one of my co-workers with boxes of Trefoils, aka "shortbread cookies." Luckily I can order a few more before the season is over and you can bet Trefoils are on the list.
I'm all about supporting Girl Power and what better way is there to encourage young, female entrepreneurs?
