Rather Chewy a Girl Scout

Rather chewy a Girl Scout
  cookie, laden
with coconut and chocolate
    nipped, directly
from the fridge
      chipped teeth
would not be delicious
so either wait for a Girl Scout
  cookie, to thaw
or oh dear me
    and
  bless her heart
microwave the Girl Scout
    treat, add
wholesome milk
  or
diet coke, with bits
    of ice, suffice
it to say
a Girl Scout’s
  rather nice

When there's a will, there's a way. Microwave or milk sound like good approaches!

Love this reminder Kim of the many times I bought Girl Scout cookies the mint flavor ones I loved with chocolate and the coconut ones. Your poem is as sweet as the cookies. Hugs...

I think I know the flavor you mean. It's my favorite. But I haven't bought them in decades. I haven't even baked my own cookies in years. Getting cancer makes us more likely to lay off the sweets. My hubbie always eats sweets. Lucky guy. He has had the worst diet for his 70 years of life and he just keeps surviving as if nutrition hardly matters!!

I get it. My D-I-L had to lay off sugar and alcohol due to cancer. Hugs

Great recipe! Treatment. I use to love them, but they no longer come to the door -- mother's are fearful, and I can't blame them. Crazy world. But, on a brighter note, your poem is delightful -- good memories.

Two of my daughters were Girl Scouts, cookie time is a big deal, it was so hard to sell so MANY cookies! We loved the chocolate mint, yes, I bought a bunch of them!! Never thought to freeze them, that is a good idea, but microwave until thawed is true wisdom! My sister and I used to sneak frozen Hostess Ding Dongs from the freezer where my mom hid them and locked the freezer, we found the key :/ I wonder if I ever confessed that sin? Makes me feel bad now! Probably got a cavity or two from them!
