REVIEW: Jack in the Box Girl Scout Adventurefuls Caramel Brownie Shake

Jack in the Box Girl Scout Adventurefuls Caramel Brownie Shake Cup

What is it?

I’ll let what I copy and pasted from Jack in the Box’s app explain it:

The name says it all: it’s gonna be delicious, and it’s only gonna be around for a limited time. That’s right, our latest craveable shake is inspired by the newest Girl Scout Cookie – Adventurefuls. This is our classic vanilla shake with brownie pieces and caramel syrup, topped off in the best way: with a Girl Scout Adventurefuls Cookie. Hurry in, the adventure won’t last forever.

The adventure also includes excavating a mountain of whipped topping.

How is it?

Full disclosure: I found the actual Adventurefuls cookie to be underwhelming. It’s good, but the brownie-flavored part should’ve been chewy instead of crunchy, like a real brownie, and I wish the caramel part wasn’t a disc of caramel-flavored creme candy.

But I’m happy to report that this delicious shake makes up for a shortcoming of the actual cookie. However, it has a few shortcomings of its own.

The brownie pieces’ sizes vary from specks to straw-clogging. While the larger ones are chewy and have a rich fudge taste, the flavor of the tinier pieces isn’t noticeable in the caramel-flavored ice cream. Also, I’m not sure I’d say the shake is full of brownies, or brownieful, if you will. The caramel syrup is thoroughly mixed throughout the base, and its flavor complements the fudginess of the larger brownie pieces. But because it’s a flavored syrup and not actual caramel, there aren’t any gooey swirls.

Jack in the Box Girl Scout Adventurefuls Caramel Brownie Shake Cookie

In the promo photos, the cookie is placed along the cup’s rim, like it’s lounging in a hot tub. But in my shake, it was placed face down, like it drowned in a hot tub. I know Girl Scout cookies are expensive, but I wish there were also Adventurefuls chunks mixed into the shake, like, um, body sweat in a hot tub.

It didn’t dawn on me until after the fact, but I should’ve crumbled the cookie and mixed it myself instead of doing the uncreative action of taking a couple of bites and then letting the rest sink to the bottom of the shake. But those bites helped me realize that the shake’s flavor is better than the cookie’s.

Anything else you need to know?

If you’re in the drive-thru or eating at the restaurant, ask for a spoon because there’s a good chance your straw will get clogged. Also, thank goodness there isn’t a cherry on top of this shake.

Conclusion:

Jack in the Box’s Girl Scout Adventurefuls Caramel Brownie Shake is more satisfying than the cookie.

One thought to “REVIEW: Jack in the Box Girl Scout Adventurefuls Caramel Brownie Shake”

  1. TASTE EXACTLY LIKE CHEESE PUFFS!
    I popped, what I thought was the Cheesy Only, in my mouth! I instantly tasted the HOT Puffy Cheese It ! ? I do not like and cannot tolerate Any spicy ? or Hot ? food!! ?? Even though it had good flavor, I could not eat anymore since they were So HOT and SPICY! ?! I was extremely disappointed and surprised when I looked on the front of the bag and saw the small word ‘HOT’ at the bottom corner!!! Look at the two bags side by side and they DO LOOK similiar! ?

    I am sending this to advise you that I strongly feel that you did NOT properly labeled the product, in more than one way, to advise customers that the contents were HOT AND SPICY! With other hot and spicy items. I can immediately tell it is before I even touch the package! !

    I wasted $3.49 plus tax for the HOT AND SPICY New Puffy Cheese Its that I threw away!
    They were on sale for $2.39 so I tried again and found I wasted my money again on the Regular Chessy ones!

    Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed when I tasted them! ??? They tasted exactly like Cheese Puffs. They had the same cheesy flavor and soft crunch as the Cheese Puffs!
