Cookie-Flavored Malt Balls

The Girl Scout Thin Mints Milk Chocolate Malt Balls are Convenient

— May 6, 2023 — Lifestyle
The Girl Scout Thin Mints Milk Chocolate Malt Balls have been created by Hilco Sweets as the perfect treat for avid fans of the popular namesake cookie to enjoy this summer. The product starts off with crunchy malted milk balls that are coated in a milky chocolate layer that's flavored with Girl Scout Thin Mints in mind to give every bite a burst of chocolate and mint alike. The treat offers a decidedly convenient way to enjoy the flavor of the cookies and will come in four-ounce bags for $5.99 starting late this summer.

Executive Vice President Lou DiMarco spoke on the Girl Scout Thin Mints Milk Chocolate Malt Balls saying, "This exciting new licensing relationship for Hilco Sweets and Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA), is truly mint to be, giving chocolate mint treat lovers a delicious light crispy malted confection combination, inspired by proven cookie favorite Girl Scout Thin Mints.”
