    I used to love Girl Scout cookies, but with celiac disease I'm not brave enough to try the gluten free ones they're selling now.

    Girl Scout cookies are super DANGEROUS. I cannot look those girls in the eye or I'll buy a dozen boxes lol

    My daughter is selling them. My mudroom is full of boxes of cookies. I've been such a good girl and haven't touched 1

    No, but I did have a Reese's Peanut Butter Egg today. It was heavenly. I think I'm the only person on the planet that doesn't care for girl scout cookies. They're just okay to me. I'm picky about cookies though. :)

    I put the Thin Mints in the freezer. That way I forget about them - and they taste even better when I remember them!

    I got a box of trefoils (shortbread) because they looked like the best option. But I also had some Samoas because my friend was giving hers away for free....and who could say no to free cookies?!
    Well, we all know that free food has no calories, right? ;)

    I ordered 12 boxes of Thin Mints. Yes, I did. I figured out the calories per box. An entire box is only about 1,200 calories...therefore a tube is about 600 calories give or take (will figure it out exactly when the time comes) I gave two boxes to each of the kids and to the hubby - that gets rid of 8. Leaves 4 for me. I will be putting them in the freezer. And pulling them out,, one tube at a time, every so often, when I want a treat while watching a good chick flick or reading a book. 4 boxes = 8 tubes. If I use this as a 1x month special treat, I can make them last a long long time, and it won't really affect my long term goals at all. Yummo!

    I like you.

    So there are actually calorie/macro differences between the 2 bakeries on some of the cookies.
    I don't have all of the numbers but Thin Mints, Samoas/Caramel Delights, Tagalongs/Peanut Butter Patties, Trefoils/Shortbread, Do-si-dos/idr the other name, do have differences between the two bakeries. Calories, macros, and even serving sizes.

    A few of the cookies are even vegan if you order from ABC Bakers. The other bakery is Little Brownie Bakery.

    Hey - that is REALLY good information! thanks so much for sharing it.
