Free And For Me

Beginning May 9, 2013, Nestle Crunch Girl Scout Candy Bars pre-sale program began for fans to purchase while supplies last.  After the pre-sale offering, fans must wait until early June, when the Nestle Crunch Girl Scout Candy Bars will become available at participating retail stores nationwide through September.

My family and I were lucky to sample the bars. We are not big sweets eaters, but who can resist Nestle Crunch Girl Scout Candy Bars????  You are literally getting the best of two worlds.

Okay….where do I begin?  At first, when the package arrived, I told my son, let’s just try one, we would share it since they came in two pieces in a package.  We first tried Caramel and Coconut.  I could not believe it, it literally tasted like Nestle and Girl Scout cookies.  I am not in a position to eat sweets right now, but I could not resist it.  I looked at him and said, “Lets try Peanut Butter Crème.”  Of course, he would agree.   Talking about a party in your mouth!  This was by far the best, it was so rich and creamy.  Forgive me, but I told him, I will eat this by myself and you can have another Carmel and Coconut.  He was none the wiser, he does not like peanut butter or at least that is what he thought for a short while.

We agreed that we would save one of each bar for my daughter, Peanut Butter Crème, Carmel, and Coconut and Thin Mints.  Everyone loves Thin Mints, but I knew she would like Caramel and Coconut over Peanut Butter.  She liked the ones I thought she would but surprisingly loved the Peanut Butter.  After observing this, my son asked if he could try the very last Peanut Butter Crème,  I felt guilty so I shared.  He like my daughter loved Peanut Butter Crème.   He says he does not like peanut butter but likes these bars.   I cannot explain that one.

As I understand it these Nestle Crunch Girl Scout Candy Bars were introduced in 2012 and have won several industry accolades and awards:

We may have missed them in 2012, but this year we were given the opportunity to sample and review the product and we love them!!!
