The annual sale of Girl Scout cookies is an event not just for young entrepreneurs, but also for those of us with a tender heart and sweet tooth. You can eat a box all by yourself, or make a lovely Girl Scout Cookie Trifle and share it at your next dinner party. Contact your nearest and dearest scout to order the cookies, and hit the grocery for the rest.
Girl Scout Cookie Trifle Recipe
INGREDIENTS
1 box instant chocolate pudding, per box directions
Homemade peanut butter mousse (recipe below)
Store-bought brownies, crumbled
1 box Tagalongs® Girl Scout Cookies
3 store-bought vanilla cupcakes, crumbled up and tinted with green food coloring
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a large trifle dish, layer the chocolate pudding, peanut butter mousse, brownie crumbles, and Tagalong cookies in layers.
- Once the trifle dish is layered to the top, garnish with the green “moss” cake crumbles.
- This can be garnished with gummy worms, edible flowers, or rock candy. Have some fun with it! We chose to make edible white chocolate mushrooms using silicone molds we found on Etsy.
