We ordered some girl scout cookies a while back, and they arrived today. I just LOVE the caramel delights. They are so yummy.

So whats your favorite kind of girl scout cookies?

That sounds like the Caramel delight cookie. They might have changed the name of it to that. If it is. Those cookies are soo good lol!

It seems like I heard that the GSA has two bakers and that different parts of the country have different cookies..or at least different names maybe??:D

Yep, different councils use different bakers and the names are dependant upon the baker. Sometimes the kinds are dependant too. All the bakers have the same backbone of cookies but sometimes they will have one or two that only they do and change from year to year.

Just googled a bit and discovered that CarmelDeLights and Samoas are one and the same!

The mystery is finally solved! A while back my old roommate and I got into an argument because she told me they were called Carmel Delights, and I said I was a girl scout many years ago and they've always been called Samoas. We each claimed that the other had no idea what they were talking about. It turns out we were both right!

Definitely Thin Mints (they're best right out of the freezer) and Peanut Butter Patties! My bf ordered some a few months back...I wonder when we'll get them! Yum! Samoas are very good too.

I was a Girl Scout for the longest time. We used to buy the cookies like by the case and keep them in our deep freezer, we had Girl Scout cookies all year long, until I quit.

The thing about Girl Scout cookies is they are so smart to only sell them once a year. People wouldn't buy as many if they knew they could get them anytime.

Cookiebaker, we pick up our cookies this Saturday so you can have yours as early as Saturday afternoon if you like.:)
Thin Mints were the most popular for my daughter to sell, she sold twice as many Thin Mints as any other flavors.
Her troop did a poll and most adults prefer the Thin Mints but the kids like Peanut Butter better.
For those of you who missed pre-ordering cookies in January, the Girl Scouts usually do Cookie Shops at local stores the first weekend in March so you can pick some up then.:)

You can see the different kinds of cookies here (http://www.girlscoutcookiesabc.com/atc/).

Iced Berry Pinatas are my favorite! I had them for the first time last year. Caramel DeLites are a a close second. Justin likes thin mints the best, but I'm not a big fan of them.
Justin is such a sucker for a Girl Scout. Whenever he sees a stand or a girl scout comes up to him he can NEVER turn them down. When we were at Mardi Paws with Kay a girl scout was sell cookies, Justin scrounged for the exact change to buy some.

I'm with you, Sammy101! ALL of them....yummy!!!

I've only had a few that my friend Tim gave me. I don't know any Girl Scouts either!

I think my favorites are a toss up between Thin Mints & Caramel DeLites. Thin Mints are only enjoyable if out of the freezer, though! :p

How I miss Girl Scout cookies! I don't know why, but although there are plenty of Girl Scout's around here, they're never out selling door to door! I think they all get their orders in bulk from friends, relatives, etc. Have to go check out the stores over the weekend!:D THIN MINTS!!!!!!!!!!!:):):) And peanut butter patties!

Oh gosh, I'm so sick of Girl Scout cookies lol.

My sister is in Girl Scouts, so she orders/sells some every year. My favorite is probably the Samoas.

I was a Girl Scout for many years! :) (3rd grade - college) :eek: :D

My sisters were Scouts too and my mom was a troop leader. Lot of great memories. :)

Up here the Peanut Butter Patties are called 'Tag-A-Longs'.

They are my favorite, followed by the Thin Mints and Samoas. :D
