kgbaseball Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 So, who likes Girl Scout cookies? I know I do, and for me, there's nothing better in the world of cookies than a Caramel deLite. It's the definition of heaven. What's your favorite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred13 Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 what's the Chocolate one with the peppermint on the inside I could eat a couple boxes of those at once. Man, I love girl guide cookies. EDIT: I'm guessin I was talking about "thin mints" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yankee4Life Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I've never heard of a "Thank you" cookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share Posted March 17, 2007 It's actually called the "Thanks-a-lot". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim825 Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 So, who likes Girl Scout cookies? I know I do, and for me, there's nothing better in the world of cookies than a Caramel deLite. It's the definition of heaven. What's your favorite? kg - Have you ever had Samoas? They look exactly like Caramel deLites, except they have real caramel and chocolate rather than the "light" ingredients in Caramel deLites. I believe that Caramel deLites are the "light" (i.e. lower calorie) version of Samoas. If you put the two cookies side by side, you would not be able to tell them apart. If you tasted them, however, you'd be able to tell right away. I find that when ordering cookies now, I actually have to read the descriptions, since some girl scouts sell Samoas while others sell Caramel deLites. Of course cold Thin Mints (we keep ours in the refrigerator) with a cold cup of milk are also pretty hard to beat..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share Posted March 17, 2007 I can't even imagine how bad for you the Samoas are, as the deLites are already 70 calories a piece! Every time we get cookies, they go straight into the freezer. They taste much better when they're cold and hard as a rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMadcap Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I'm with Jim. The samoas rock! My wife brought a box home, we ate them all in a few hours. edit: i just confirmed this with the wife, samoas were renamed caramel delights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgbaseball Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share Posted March 17, 2007 I checked a deLite box a few minutes ago, and it's 140 calories for 2, 7g fat, 4 g saturated fat. Still, they're delectable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timp Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Other - Cafe Cookies. They're crispy, and have a HUGE cinnamon taste. I had those at my house before and could NOT stop eating them. Thin mints are a close second place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
