ICYMI, it’s officially Girl Scout Cookie season, which means it’s time to find support your local scout troops and stock up on boxes of your favorite cookies while they’re available. While it may be an unpopular choice, I’ll be shelling out plenty of cash for the Lemonades cookies, as the tartness from the citrus just really balances out with the simplicity of the shortbread. While Lemonades are my go-to Girl Scout Cookie to eat solo, I also like to have a few boxes of Thin Mints on hand. Not only are these chocolate-y, minty cookies delicious on their own, I can also confirm that crushed-up Thin Mints make for a fantastic ice cream sundae topping. Sometimes, when I’m making an ice cream sundae, I like to break up several Thin Mints and sprinkle them on top. Wendy’s is on the same wavelength, and the chain’s brand new, limited-edition collaboration is bringing Thin Mints and frostys to a whole new level. If you love storing your Girl Scout cookies in the freezer, the new Wendy’s Thin Mint Frosty might be for you.
What is the new Wendy’s Thin Mints Frosty?
If you prefer your Girl Scout cookies frozen, I have great news. On January 27, Wendy’s announced a collaboration with Girls Scouts of the USA on a limited-edition Wendy’s Thin Mint Frosty starting February 21, Wendy’s will give cookie-loving customers the best of both worlds with a Girl Scout Thin Mints Frosty, available for a limited time.
The Thin Mint Frosty will be available with both a vanilla or chocolate Frosty base, plus a minty-chocolatey swirl mixed in. The frosty will also have a crumbly cookie butter-textured topping for the full Girl Scout Cookie experience. The Thin Mints Frosty will be available at restaurants nationwide beginning at the end of February through the first week of April – aka the beginning of the end of the annual Girl Scout Cookie season.
In addition to the delectable Thin Mints Frosty, both the standard plain vanilla and chocolate Frostys will also be available for purchase.
How do I get free Wendy’s Frostys?
Back in December, Wendy’s released Frosty Key Tags, an annual promotion that, following a one-time purchase, allows customers to get one free Junior-sized Frosty every visit for an entire year. The Frosty Key Tags are available for purchase for $3 through the Wendy’s app or in-store at participating restaurants until February 16. Not only can this promotion be used for a Jr. Thin Mints Frosty, 90% of proceeds will go to the Dave Thomas Foundation, which helps children in foster care find permanent, loving families.
What other new menu items does Wendy’s have?
In November 2024, Wendy’s released a mushroom bacon burger featuring its signature square patty, Muenster cheese, roasted mushrooms, and of course, bacon. They also updated their taco salad, by adding a zesty salsa dressing, Wendy’s signature chili, tortilla strips, and fire-roasted corn.
