Tagalongs, Dulce de Leche, Lemon Chalet Cremes & Do-Si-Dos

Chocolate, caramel, crunchy, creamy.... those four words are the best way to describe my yummy girl scout cookies that are sitting on my dinning room table.  All six boxes, yes I said six, are still unopened.  I must not have been feeling very well last night... otherwise a least one of those boxes would have been opened because I look forward to these cookies every year.

I had many to ask me to buy cookies this year, but I saved my order for Terry's niece who is a first year girl scout.  Unlike his niece, Hannah, I was never a girl scout.  I have been to Camp Meridale during the United Way Day of Caring and it seems like a great place!  I'm sure great friendships are formed from hanging out with fellow girl scouts.

Even though I was never a girl scout, we always had those cookies in the house growing up.  My mom is a teacher and I don't think she can say no to the kids at school because if one asked... she would buy at least two boxes.  We seemed to always have an abundance of "Thin Mints" in the house.  Maybe it was because they were my dad, mom and brothers favorite girl scout cookie!  Mom loved the fact that they could be frozen and brought out at a later date to enjoy.

I'm going to try something different with the one box of "Do-Si-Dos" that I got.  I found a recipe online and it sounds delicious.  Try it and let me know how it turns out!
