Caramel Brownie Cookies

The Girl Scouts Adventurefuls Cookies Taste Like Salted Caramel Brownies

— August 18, 2021 — Lifestyle
Joining beloved sweet treats like Thin Mints and Samoas is a new cookie called Girl Scouts Adventurefuls, which were inspired by indulgent brownies. These cookies with caramel-flavored creme and sea salt promise to be a treat for cookie and brownie lovers of all ages. These cookies get their name because they "take cookie lovers on a delicious taste adventure just like Girl Scouts go on their own amazing adventures through the program."

Cookie and brownie hybrids and other over-the-top desserts are increasing in popularity, especially at a time when people are looking for sweet comfort foods and flavors that are both familiar and nostalgic. Although new cookie launches have become annual traditions for Girl Scouts, cookie lovers will have to wait until next year to get a taste of Adventurefuls.
