a top three: Samoas, Tagalongs
and Do-si-dos. I joined the
Girl Scouts because I wanted
to sell the cookies.”

“The only Girl Scout cookie
to eat is a Tagalong. Hints of
peanut butter, chocolate...
it makes a great sandwich
with ice cream, too.”
—Alex Guarnaschelli“The texture of gooey
caramel and coconut balanced
by rich chocolate and vanilla
flavors make Samoas
a Fuller Farmer favorite.”
—Nancy Fuller“As a little girl, I considered
Trefoils my favorite—I still like
them with peanut butter!
But now it’s Samoas. They’re
like eating a candy bar.”
