Ok, who doesn't LOVE Girl Scout Cookies? Here's an interesting event held in Phoenix each year that takes it to a whole other level... a Girl Scout Cookie Dessert Challenge.
For the fifth year in a row, chefs from some of the state’s most popular restaurants will use their culinary prowess to re-imagine one of the beloved flavors of Girl Scout Cookies – Do-Si-Dos, Samoas, Tagalongs, Thin Mints, Trefoils, S’mores and Savannah Smiles – into a custom dessert menu item. Each restaurant has agreed to feature its dessert on their menu from February 1 to February 28, 2018, with a portion of the proceeds from each dessert sold directly supporting Girl Scouting in Arizona.
No, seriously...they make desserts with Girl Scout Cookies like a milkshake made with Tagalongs (Aioli Burger) and Savannah Smiles Vanilla and Lemon Raspberry Tart at Ocean Prime.
While some of the participants are geared toward the adult crowd, there's plenty of places to choose from in the Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Flagstaff area. Learn more about this must-do when visiting Arizona at http://www.girlscoutsaz.org/en/about-our-council/news/2017/2_1485377788634.html.
