I&#8217;d say they&#8217;re the best new Girl Scout Cookie flavor in at least a decade, but man, did they bungle the texture.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ve got a brownie-based cookie, and it&#8217;s as hard as a cookie could be. Now, some may like that. This is a COOKIE, after all, not a brownie\u2026 but I really question why they decided to go this route.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/gsadven3.jpeg?resize=600%2C524&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Girl Scouts Adventurefuls Bite\" title=\"gsadven3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"524\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You know that corner brownie piece that&#8217;s harder than the rest of the squares but still has a firm chewiness to it? If these cookies were that texture, they&#8217;d be rivals to the Girl Scout cookie throne.<\/p>\n<p>The cookie itself tastes like a brownie, but with such a hard, crunchy texture, it takes away from the enjoyment of the flavor. They were so close, yet so far away.<\/p>\n<h3>Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>I would have probably forgiven the cookie more if the salted caramel flavored &#8220;cr\u00e8me&#8221; was actual cr\u00e8me, not hard synthetic plastic. Yeah, even the cr\u00e8me is texturally off. It&#8217;s not an icing, but more like a thin layer of Hershey&#8217;s chocolate, and the caramel flavor doesn&#8217;t really pop at all. It gets swallowed by the dense brownie chocolate flavor almost instantly.<\/p>\n<p>This cookie isn&#8217;t &#8220;full&#8221; of &#8220;adventure&#8221; at all, unless they&#8217;re talking about the salt, which I will say does come through and is a great choice on their part.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/gsadven4.jpeg?resize=600%2C478&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Girl Scouts Adventurefuls Tray\" title=\"gsadven4.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"478\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Far be it from me to tell those adorable little scouts how to make their cookies, but if these were brownie edge textured cookies, with a &#8220;cr\u00e8me&#8221; center similar to, let&#8217;s say, a Stella D&#8217;oro Swiss Fudge? I&#8217;m re-ordering five boxes.<\/p>\n<p>As they are, they&#8217;re still good \u2013 Top 5 even. I&#8217;d rank &#8217;em just behind Samoas, Thin Mints, and Tagalongs, but they could&#8217;ve been a 9 out of 10.
