The limited edition chocolate bar flavor features the beloved Thin Mint Cookies that the [Girl Scouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girl-scout-thin-mints-brownies) are famous for. Now you won't have to go through a scout just to get your cookie fix. Come June, you'll be able to waltz into any convenience store and indulge in your favorite Girl Scout cookie enveloped in a bar of chocolate.
