Heather said...: GIRL. I love both of those!!! My hubby surprised me with two boxes of thin mints that he bought from one of his students last week and I ate BOTH BOXES in one week! FOUR SLEEVES OF COOKIES!!! I would love to let Connor share the blame...but I think he ate like 4-5 cookies total!!! ha! They are totally my weakness, too!!! :) YUM!; February 28, 2010 at 5:26 PM
Love with a Latte said...: Oh My! Why on earth does Girl Scout cookie time have to happen right after the New Year's Resolutions have already started to waiver or Lent? It never fails when I say I'm going to lessen the amount of sweets that I eat, a cute little girl scout puts the cookie order form in my face! I love them all- Tagalongs, Samoas and Thin Mints are probably my favorites but I could eat any of them! One bad day and the box is gone! Hmmm, that sounds like this past Friday for me!; February 28, 2010 at 5:33 PM
Sonya said...: Love samoas! But I also buy the thin mints and do-si-dos! I wish they had the dulce de leche in our area, but they don't. They have some really good lemon ones that aren't the ones shown here.; February 28, 2010 at 5:51 PM
Lori said...: Samoas...and apparently they are the favorites of our newly adopted Golden, Sam, as I came home and found a box shredded on the floor...no sign of the cookies OR the plastic tray they come in! OUCH!; February 28, 2010 at 6:06 PM
Tickled Pink Mandy said...: Samoas all the way! Back when I was a girl scout they were called "Carmel Delights".... and boy they are definately my weakness! Enjoy your cookies! I am enjoying mine!!; February 28, 2010 at 7:49 PM
Meredith said...: Yum!!!! Thin mints are the BEST!!!; March 1, 2010 at 9:44 AM
Life Happens said...: My favorite are the Samoas! I bought two boxes over the weekend and my husband didn't know so he wanted to surprise me and bought three more boxes! I could eat them all, but I won't. We will be sharing them with family and co-workers.; March 1, 2010 at 10:04 AM
Unknown said...: I love thin mints! I've actually thought about making thin mint balls (like cake balls), dipping them in chocolate and sprinkling green cookie mint on top :); March 1, 2010 at 12:15 PM
