My Girl Scout Cookie Haul
I’ve often wondered why someone would buy Girl Scout Cookie Thin Mints when there is a facsimile available in the form of Keebler Grasshoppers. Apparently I’m not the only one who has pondered this cookie dilemma.
Keebler – Fudgeshoppe Grasshopper Cookies
Girl Scout Cookie Thin Mint, Keebler Grass Hopper
I would have to disagree with the linked bloggers. The Thin Mints have a much mintier taste, and due to the larger size, more crunchiness per cookie. Eating a couple consecutively results in a nice cookie slurry in your mouth. The grasshoppers DO have more of a fudgey taste, but it’s not what I’m looking for.
Both cookies are best right out of the freezer.
Girl Scout Thin Mints are the clear winner in my mind. I think I paid $3.50 a box? See you local girl scout for details or ebay.

Great idea! You also get to support a great organization by purchasing the box of Girl Scout cookies, which doesn’t exactly factor into taste, but perhaps overall satisfaction. I’m a big thin mint fan myself. Nice to know they’re still the tops.

Keebler makes both cookies. That’s probably why it is almost impossible to tell the difference between them:

I can tell a difference, and I believe the boxen I had were from ABC bakers, not Little Brownie.
Thanks for the link.
