A classic Girl Scouts cookie flavor inspired one of the newest mint products from Project 7. The 'Thin Mints Mints' take the form of a special-edition dual-layer gourmet mint that boasts no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives to recreate the taste of Girl Scouts' iconic chocolate wafer crisp Thin Mints. Rather than being sweetened unnaturally, the sugar-free mints from Project 7 are enhanced with stevia.
Alongside its officially licensed Thin Mints Mints, Project 7 also produced two cookie-flavored chewing gums, one inspired by Thin Mints, and a second flavored like Caramel Coconut cookies, offering many new alternative ways to enjoy the flavors of the famous Girl Scouts cookies.
Over the years, many Girl Scouts-inspired treats have been created, including everything from herbal teas and baking mixes to sweet breakfast cereals.
