Forget tracking down Girl Scout cookies, or making your own at home, the organization just announced a game changer. They have teamed up with Nestle to produce a Thin Mints Crunch bar! Unless our eyesight is failing us, it appears that the bar contains 200 calories, 100 grams of fat, and 24 carbs; and they're made from dark chocolate cookie wafers, mint chocolate creme, airy crispies, and magic, probably. However, they won't be available to the public for months. A rep said:
“We are thrilled with the positive response to the Nestle Crunch Girl Scout Candy Bar. The product photo is a retail sales sample and not available for sale at this time. Look forward to some very exciting news in June.”
Until then, America will just have to make DIY versions and pretend... we should also think of some other Girl Scout-based frankenfoods, maybe a little something involved Do-Si-Dos and bacon?
