Girl Scouts of America partnership brings cookies closer to home

Two of America’s sweetest brands are teaming up.

Pillsbury and Girl Scout Cookie are combining forces to create baking mixes. For Girl Scouts of America Cookie fans, this means you won’t have to wait until winter to get your fix.

The organizations will team up for the following baking mixes:

• Girl Scouts Thin Mints Flavored Brownie Mix
• Girl Scouts Thin Mints Flavored Cupcake Mix
• Girl Scouts Caramel & Coconut Flavored Blondie Mix
• Girl Scouts Caramel & Coconut Flavored Cupcake Mix

"We are very pleased about our licensing relationship with Girl Scouts of the USA, as our brands share a similar personality of happiness and fun—a common characteristic of bringing people together," J.M. Smucker vice president Maribeth Burns said in a statement. "We hope these fan-favorite flavors encourage baking amongst friends and family alike."

That’s not the only major announcement for the Girl Scout brand. For those who covet the cookies and can’t partake because of gluten intolerance, there’s great news. The brand has two new flavors that will satisfy your dietary and emotional needs. They are:

• Toffee-tastic: a gluten-free butter cookie with toffee bits
• Trios: a gluten-free cookie with peanut butter, chocolate chips, and whole grain oats.

FACT: For the first time in Girl Scout history, gluten-free cookies will be available nationwide from most councils. http://t.co/hMBRie8obO
