No. 13: Girl Scout Cookie™ Caramel & Coconut

Crumbs introduced their Girl Scout Cupcake Collection last month that feature four flavors honoring the famous Girl Scout Cookies.  Samoas­­® are my favorite Girl Scout Cookie, so of course I had to try the Girl Scout Caramel & Coconut cupcake.  It looks great with a Samoa cookie on top.

Crumbs plays homage to the cookie with a vanilla cake and chocolate frosting, topped with with toasted and untoasted coconut and a caramel drizzle.  While vanilla cake is not my preferred cake flavor, it makes sense to match the cookie base.  The chocolate frosting drizzled with caramel is a flip of the original cookie that has a caramel coconut topping drizzled with chocolate.  While I would love a caramel coconut frosting for the cupcake, the chocolate frosting goes well with all the vanilla cake.  I saved the Samoa cookie for last!

Size: Signature
Picked Up At: Union Square
My Rating (out of 5): 5

Did You Know?  I just learned that my beloved Samoas are also called Caramel deLites®...huh?  According to the Girl Scouts site, the two have slightly different nutritional facts and the difference is because because a different baker makes each one.  The same goes for some of the other cookies like Tagalongs®.  Not sure why both bakers aren't able to use the same name or recipe, or why only some cookies have two names.  But I have only know this cookie as Samoas and I think it's the better name!
