To see if I&#8217;m right, I made a list of four possible Pepperidge Farm cookies below. One is real. Guess which one it is without using the internet.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Madagascar<\/li>\n<li>Rochester<\/li>\n<li>Verona<\/li>\n<li>Montenegro<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Okay, now you can use the internet to check your answer.<\/p>\n<p>While you may have had trouble determining which one is a real Pepperidge Farm cookie name, the one everyone can name is the Milano. It has to be the most popular of all gazillion PeFa cookies (I&#8217;m trying to make PeFa a thing because I&#8217;m tired of typing Pepperidge Farm). But right now, I&#8217;m about to say something that might be blasphemous. It&#8217;s not their best cookie. That, my friends, goes to the Brussels. <\/p>\n<p>For those of you not familiar with the original Brussels, the Pepperidge Farm website describes them as \u201clace-thin, crisp cookies embrace a layer of smooth, luxurious, dark chocolate.\u201d Perhaps a better description, using fewer adjectives, would be calling it a thin sandwich cookie.<\/p>\n<p>Granted, the first time I&#8217;ve ever tried a Brussels was when I tasted these Limited Edition Brussels Mint Cookies. But it took just one cookie to know they&#8217;re better. Sure, they look like Milano cookies that got run over by a steamroller before being baked, but they have a satisfying crunch that makes the crispiness of the Milano seem quaint.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/theimpulsivebuy\/30383577943\" title=\"View 'Pepperidge Farm Limited Edition Brussels Mint Cookies 2' on Flickr.com\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"379\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5810\/30383577943_78f46c2a0f_z.jpg?resize=640%2C379&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pepperidge Farm Limited Edition Brussels Mint Cookies 2\" width=\"640\" title=\"Pepperidge Farm Limited Edition Brussels Mint Cookies 2\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The mint version out for the holidays has the same thin crunchy wafers and layer of dark chocolate as the original, but it also has a blanket of mint creme. At this point, with the combination of chocolate and mint, you\u2019re probably thinking these might taste like Girl Scouts Thin Mints, and they do. They don\u2019t make my mouth as minty, but, dare I say, because of that thunderous crunch, they&#8217;re better than Thin Mints.<\/p>\n<p>Yup, I said it. These are awesome and kick Thin Mints butt!<\/p>\n<p>You don&#8217;t control my wallet anymore, Girl Scouts.<\/p>\n<p>Oh wait. These are limited edition.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sorry, Girl Scouts.
