Homemade Girl Scout Cookie Inspired Cereal
It is hard to miss the little girls in green vests selling cookies this time of year. Girl Scouts know the way to all of our hearts – and stomachs – with their crumbly, chewy, and sometimes chocolatey pieces of heaven. Talk to anyone and it’s likely they have a couple boxes stocked in their freezer for the perfect treat year round.
I’ve eaten my fair share of Girl Scout cookies, but growing up, Thin Mints and Samoas were by far my favorites. When I heard General Mills was making cereal inspired by these two varieties, I knew I had to have some. Cookies for breakfast? Yes, yes, and yes. But the impatient person in me couldn’t wait to scour the grocery stores for them.
These recipes replicate the classic flavors and are perfect for breakfast, dessert, or anything in between. I love pairing these with almond milk and fruit or putting them on top of yogurt. When the cravings hit, whip up two batches: one for you and one to share. (Because we all know that sharing Girl Scout cookies is the epitome of friendship.)
