Who doesn’t love Girl Scout Cookies?
I think those Girl Scout people are geniuses. I mean, you make some of the most delicious cookies ever, and then put them in the hands of some of the cutest little girls ever to sell them. Who can say no to that combination?
The worst part of Girl Scout Cookies is that you can’t get them all the time. Except now, the Girl Scout geniuses hooked up with the geniuses at NESTLÉ® to create NESTLÉ® CRUNCH® Girl Scouts® Candy Bars.
Yeah, you heard me. Girl Scout cookies. In candy bar form. In Peanut Butter Creme, Coconut & Caramel and Thin Mints® flavors.
I was walking through Walmart the other day and there they were in the Seasonal aisle, with a light shining down on them from the heavens and angels singing. {Not really. But it seemed like there should have been.} The thing is, like the cookies they’re based on, they aren’t available year-round either. I think that would be too much of a good thing. They’re only available until the end of summer! So go get some now!
Anyway, when I saw these candy bars, I knew I had to make something amazing with them. I thought about cookies, but then I realized that cookies made with candy bars that are based on and taste like cookies might just blow people’s minds.
And then it hit me.
Remember a few months ago when I made my Pretzel Toffee Marshmallow Treats? {If you missed those, you must try them ASAP. They are completely insane.} You may recall that they were inspired by the Ruffles Marshmallow Krispie Treats from Lauren’s Latest, which I promised I would be making at some point.
Well, guess what, people? That day has arrived. I present to you: Caramel Coconut Potato Chip Marshmallow Treats.
Aahhhhhh!! {That was my attempt at conveying angel song through words.}
These are salty, sweet and amazing. And so, so easy to make.
You make them just like Rice Krispies Treats, so that means no turning your oven on in the dead of summer! Just crush up your potato chips, toast your coconut, chop up your candy bars, melt your butter and marshmallows together, and mix it all together.
That’s it. Well, then you have to try to not eat the whole batch. Because that wouldn’t be good. I mean, it would be delicious, but not good. You get me, right?

Oh wow. At first this seems like just a bunch of random ingredients, but it’d actually perfect and they go well together 🙂 I never would have guessed!
