Wondering about Girl Scout cookie season? The Girl Scouts' latest cookie announcement might be just the mind fuel you need.

Celiac.com 08/31/2021 - Girl Scout cookie season doesn't begin until January, but that hasn't stopped Girl Scouts of the USA from teasing us with an announcement of their newest cookie flavor, a chocolate sea salt caramel cookie called Adventurefuls.

Girl Scouts touts the cookie as an "...indulgent brownie-inspired cookie with caramel-flavored crème and a hint of sea salt..."

Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
Adventurefuls are made by both of the Girl Scout’s official baking companies, ABC Bakers and Little Brownie Bakers, so they will be available across the country beginning in January 2022. Sadly, Adventurefuls are not listed as gluten-free, but there are a number of gluten-free options on the Girl Scout list.

Believe it or not, there are slight differences between the cookies, according to the nutritional information for the Little Brownie Bakers version lists two Adventurefuls cookies at 24 grams, with 120 calories, while two ABC Bakers cookies weigh 25 grams and contain 130 calories. ABC Bakers contain 2 grams more sugar, but less sodium at 55 milligrams, compared with 80 milligrams for the Little Brownie Bakers version.

Food & Wine magazine got an early peak at the cookie, and described them as “a bit of a cookie mashup: the texture of Thin Mints meets the filled format of Tagalongs and the striped, gooeyness of Samoas — yet different enough to stand on its own.”

Other favorites returning for the 2022 cookie season are Thin Mints, Caramel deLites/Samoas, Tagalongs/Peanut Butter Patties, Trefoils/Shortbread, and Do-Si-Dos/Peanut Butter Sandwiches.

Availability of other cookie flavors varies by region, depending on whether the cookies are from Little Brownie Bakers or ABC Bakers.

Girl Scouts Offer the Following Gluten-Free Cookies:

Toffee-tastic

Caramel Chocolate Chip

The cookie-selling season begins January 2022, and runs though April. Times and dates may vary by area. As always, a portion of every box of Girl Scout cookies sold helps fund local activities and troops.

My 2 cents worth is that the Toffee-tastic are awful and the flavor varieties are dependent on the region of the country. Where I live in Florida this is the only flavor available, very disappointing.

In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives. He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014.

  Kathleen, I am not sure I agree with you that your son is asymptomatic with regard to his celiac disease. The horrible stomach pains you describe in your first post could be celiac symptoms as easily as they could be H. Pylori or viral infection symptoms. Yes, the social impact of having celiac disease is perhaps the most difficult dimension of the disorder...

  Staci, take note of the forms of magnesium and zinc I recommended. With some of the vitamins and minerals, the formulation can be very important in how well they are absorbed. Many of the vitamin and mineral products on supermarket shelves are in a form that maximizes shelf life rather than bioavailability which, in your case, would seem to be a critical...

  And yes, of course it's better to know and we will adjust. It's just, he's 7 and in our house we can control what he gets. But he plays soccer 3 times a week and in the changing room the boys share candies. I can and will tell him not to accept them any more, but "mistakes" will be made. I'm really burdened by the potential social impact...
