ABC Cookies

The Girl Scouts are at it again, and this time they're adding vitamins to their cookies. That's right, not only is the latest release from the company its first-ever tropical fruit-flavored version, but the debuting Mango Crèmes are apparently something of a super cookie.

According to the LAist, the new Mango Crèmes will be released for the 2013 selling season. Apparently, the latest cookies are supposed to transport their eaters to a tropical island. They come in sandwich form, combining a bright mango cream filling with the quintessential Girl Scout crispy, crunchy cookie, which is a mix of vanilla and coconut flavors.

New Girl Scout cookies are always exciting, but the Mango Crèmes are also made with NutriFusionTM. What exactly is NutriFusionTM? It's the Girl Scout Company's attempt to make their cookies "healthy." The ABC (makers of many of the legendary Girl Scout sweets) website explains that the cookies contain 15% RDI (reference daily intake) of Vitamin B1 per serving and 5% RDI of vitamins A, C, D, E, and B6 per serving. The site also points out the cookies do not contain hydrogenated oils, preservatives, and there are zero grams of trans fat per serving.

The idea of getting important vitamins while eating junk food does sounds nice, but Mango Crèmes are still cookies. One serving (or three cookies) is 180 calories, 7 grams of total fat, with 4 grams of saturated fat. And let's face it, limiting oneself to only three Girl Scout cookies is an extremely difficult task.

NutriFusionTM confusion aside, Mango Crèmes will become the 11th member of the Girl Scout cookie family available for purchase in 2013.
