Homemade Nestle Crunch Girl Scout Cookie Recipes

These delicious, homemade Girl Scout cookie recipes were created using Nestle Crunch bars in limited edition flavors.

As I’ve gotten older I’ve tried to utilize self-control when it comes to my insatiable sweet tooth. And it works.

Most of the time.

Except in late winter/early spring when a once a year treat makes its appearance. Yes, Girl Scout cookies are my weakness.

For portion control, I try to limit myself to just a couple boxes of my favorite flavors (Thin Mints and Samoas) but then I get a craving for Girl Scout cookies and regret not planning better and/or lack of portion control.

But during a recent shopping trip, I came across something that’s a worthy substitute. Limited edition Nestle Crunch bars in…Girl Scout cookie flavors!

Thin Mint.

Samoa. (Caramel and Coconut)

Tagalong. (Peanut Butter Creme)

While these, of course, these tasty, little Nestle Crunch bars are good on their own, I couldn’t resist picking up a couple of bars in each flavor to test out in a recipe.

Or three.
