My kids each buy their own box so they don’t have to share with anyone.

Samoas, hands down!
I also really like the Trefoils. Thin Mints are still tasty, but not as good as they used to be.

Samoas! Then thin mints. That’s all we ever get. We freeze ours and then we usually forget about a box or two which is a nice surprise for later on.
I’m tempted to try the s’mores, they look good!

Thin Mints, Samoas and the S’mores ones, but the S’mores would be better with a thicker layer of marshmallow, IMO. I bought about five bags of the mint chocolate Sweet Tooth Fairy candy melts at Michael’s. I’m going to try making my own Thin Mints. I also bought a square silicone mold for making chocolate covered s’mores. I have nothing against Girl Scouts but dang, the price keeps going up and the boxes keep getting smaller. I would much rather just give the troop a donation outright. Will you share if you find a recipe that is a good copycat? I remake all recipes with fair trade chocolate and am trying to find a good Thin Mint recipe.

Sally’s Baking Addiction has a lot of good recipes so I’m pretty confident it will be decent. Her recipe uses peppermint extract in the chocolate coating but I’m just going to use mint chocolate candy melts to dip them in because chocolate can be finicky. Here’s a link to it: sallysbakingaddiction.com/homemade-thin-mint-cookies/print/70696/

I’m tempted to try the s’mores, they look good! there are two versions (different bakers). I prefer the chocolate covered version but of course our bakery is the other one with the sandwich cookie version which I don't are for to be honest.

I don't buy them because I think they're overpriced for how few there are, and tbh just not good in my opinion..
I know many will disagree, but I literally don't like em. I hope everyone who buys them enjoys them though.

I love to donate cookies through their program.. here it is called "gifts of caring". I have actually meet people who say they love the cookies when they get them through the food bank several months after the sale. they rarely get a treat in their allotment.

My response will be shorter if I just list the one cookie I don't like. I don't know what they are called but they have chocolate covering and toasted coconut on top. I just don't care for them. All of the other kinds, yes please.

Samoas (I still call them Carmel Delights) and FROZEN Thin Mints. Girl Scout leader for years and I still have PTSD (kidding, kind of) about booth sales! Right there with you! I remember my dining room filled with cases of cookies

Thin mints. Final answer. When Betty Ford opens a Thin Mints wing, check me in.
