Honestly, they're better than Thin Mints. I said what I said.
The texture of the cookie itself was the most shocking thing to me, since I was expecting something a bit softer — they're "brownie-inspired," after all. Instead of something chewy and fudgy, these cookies are crisp and crumbly, almost like a thicker, less-snappy Thin Mint (sans the mint, of course).
To be clear, I'd give the texture an 11/10 if I could. They're not the slightest bit dense, either, which makes them veryyyyy easy to not put down. Think of them as crumbly, chocolaty shortbread cookies with that signature chocolate coating, plus the perfect amount of crème to keep things exciting and unexpected.
The chocolate itself is reminiscent of any other chocolate-flavored Girl Scout Cookie, but the addition of the caramel crème and that subtle (but perfect) hint of salt make these one of the best Girl Scout Cookies I've ever tasted. They're second only to my first love, Thin Mints. (Duh.) I know that's a very very VERY intense thing to say, but trust me, they're that good.
In terms of the "caramel crème," I don't even know if I'd go as far as to call it legit caramel. It's a bit more butterscotch-y in its nature, truth be told, but it's really the perfect amount to not totally overpower the chocolaty elements. Super balanced, reaaaally delicious.
• As always, you can do things the old-fashioned way and connect with your favorite Girl Scout (or bother your friends and colleagues until you finally find a small child who's selling cookies this year — your choice).
• If you do know a local Girl Scout, they can also complete the sale 100% virtually via their Digital Cookie platform — and if you need to find a local council in your area, you can use the Council Finder.
• Starting February 18, you can find a booth or upcoming Girl Scout Cookie sale in your area by using the Cookie Finder site. Just select "Find Cookies!" and enter your zip code, and the internet will do the rest.
