-Hmm, some people are gonna be really upset by this,
-
by the way.
-
(upbeat music)
-
Hi, it's me again, Zac Young, Pastry Director of
-
Craveable Hospitality Group.
-
I've been a professional pastry chef for 13 years.
-
Today, we're gonna taste some Girl Scout cookies.
-
An iconic Girl Scout cookie.
-
The exterior doesn't really give away the true magic
-
that's hidden inside.
-
Like many things in life, the beauty is within.
-
Texture of the cookie is great.
-
It has a subtle hint of mint.
-
Too much mint and it becomes like toothpaste.
-
My one problem is the outside coating.
-
It's a little waxy.
-
Like a mint-scented Yankee candle.
-
Four-and-a-half stars.
-
We're startin' high.
-
This is like when you get a patch for wrestling a bear.
-
It's even better that it's edible.
-
This is better than I remember.
-
There's like a little bit of saltiness in there,
-
and it's really crunchy.
-
These are actually really good.
-
She's a natural beauty.
-
She doesn't wear make-up, she just naturally glows.
-
I'm like into it.
-
Four stars.
-
Savannah Smiles, sounds like a drag queen.
-
Oh, that's interesting.
-
Super crunchy.
-
Crumbly on the inside, super, super acidic.
-
You eat it, and like you pucker and you do this thing,
-
and then when the sour goes away, you finally smile.
-
And Savannah Smiles.
-
Two stars.
-
The Do-Si-Dos.
-
The uglier cousin of the Nutter Butter.
-
Suspiciously lacking in filling.
-
It's like peanut butter and chalk.
-
It needs this.
-
Peanut flavor is really good.
-
I just want more cream filling.
-
I'm gonna go with three stars.
-
If you promise me a sandwich,
-
it better be heavy on the meat.
-
Oh, these are new.
-
The Girl Scout S'mores.
-
It doesn't really look like a s'more.
-
These look like those sugar-free sandwich cookies
-
that my grandmother had.
-
It's good.
-
I'm not sure it's like s'mores.
-
The cookie's good, basic, chocolate is awesome.
-
I'm just missin' the toast.
-
S'mores is the new girl.
-
I'm gonna be nice.
-
I'm gonna give her three-and-a-half stars.
-
Tagalongs or Peanut Butter Patties, depending on
-
where you live in the country.
-
I used to love these.
-
Not as good as I remember.
-
I want more peanut butter.
-
I want more peanut.
-
The chocolate's great.
-
I'm just not getting the creaminess.
-
I want this to be the love child of a peanut butter cup,
-
and a cookie.
-
It looks more like it's cookie father
-
and it definitely needs milk.
-
Three-and-a-half stars.
-
Three-and-three-quarters stars.
-
It's like one of those things that are maybe
-
best kept as a memory.
-
Wow, they look artisanal.
-
Gluten-free, Girl Scout cookies.
-
Next year, they're gonna be selling kale and quinoa salad.
-
But no really, for people who can't have gluten,
-
I'm actually really happy that they did this.
-
This is the Toffee-Tastic.
-
Who names Girl Scout cookies?
-
How do I get that job?
-
Mmm, the box don't lie.
-
It's toffee-tastic, super crunchy, nicely carmelized,
-
really great flavor.
-
I'm into it.
-
Good three-and-a-half stars.
-
The only thing missing in here is a lot more toffee.
-
I wanna crack a tooth.
-
Yes, it's like a thing of beauty.
-
The texture, the toasted coconut, halo.
-
Toasty, coconutty, hint of suntan lotion,
-
in the best possible way.
-
Gooey, chewy, probably the only Girl Scout cookie,
-
that I can't make better.
-
Five stars.
-
Because you can never replicate perfection.
-
Where's the rest of this box?
-
There's like winter, spring, summer, fall,
-
and Girl Scout cookie season.
-
That's my favorite season.
-
They're nostalgic.
-
There isn't a bad one.
-
Go support your local Girls Scouts.
-
Buy as many boxes as you can, because no one can say no
-
to Girl Scout cookies.
-
I used to hide these under my bed, like other boys
-
had filthy magazines, I had boxes of Girl Scout cookies.
-
Go figure.
