Tagalong S'mores

Sometimes you see something so magical, that you CANNOT waste time in trying it yourself!!! This is the case of when I saw Crazy for Crust's brilliant idea to make Thin Mint S'mores. And well...I just so happened to have some Tagalongs hanging out in my freezer...soo...yeah. It had to happen. Tagalong S'mores.

Can we discuss Girl Scout cookies for a second?

I was a Girl Scout (all the way from Daisy, to Brownie, to Junior, to Cadet, to...well...Girl Scout)-it was such a fun time in my life. I was in a troop with my best friends, and all of our moms were joint troop leaders. Many good times were had. Including freezing and sitting outside the local Walmart, trying to sell some cookies. And oh...ohhh the competition of cookie sales. One year I sold the most (largely thanks to us purchasing like...30 some boxes. And many hungry neighbors. I was a great little sales lady) and boy, I felt SO proud. Like...probably way too proud. Anyway, due to this competitive nature, my family always bought a ton of cookies, which we would then store in the freezer and would last us all year long until cookie season came again! We always stocked up on quite a few flavors (lemon and shortbread for mom, and thin mints, tagalongs--or as we used to call them, peanut butter patties, and samoas for everyone else). My FAVORITE has always been Tagalongs. 

Another amazing memory I have with the Girl Scouts (in addition to many other times in my life): cooking food over a fire (namely little pizza things)--ESPECIALLY, my old friend, S'mores!!! So...of course...it makes so much sense to mush together two of my childhood loves. SUCH a simple, and great idea. Chocolate, peanut butter, shortbread, toasty marshmallow.....mmmmmmmmm. You need to try this. With any cookies in your life. Just...go....go do it. And remember pigtails. And making Christmas presents. And camping in your friend's backyard. And earning badges. Remember childhood. :)

....dude....childhood tastes pretty sweet.... :P
