Girl Scout cookies, an enduring US snack favorite, get new ice cream-inspired variety  A new ice cream-inspired Girl Scout cookie will be part of the upcoming lineup of treats sold door-to-door and at storefront 'cookie booths' by US Girl Scouts to raise money for their troops. Exploremores, a sandwich cookie based on rocky road ice cream, will take its place alongside widely popular classic varieties like Thin Mints, Samoas and Tagalongs in the 2026 cookie season. Girl Scouts have been selling cookies to help finance troop activities since 1917, five years after Juliette Gordon Low started Girl Scouts in the US, according to the organization's website.

00:00The Girl Scouts who are bringing the cookies out, there we are.

00:06As they're bringing them out, these Girl Scouts have each individually last year

00:12scored over 3,500 packages of Girl Scout cookies last year.

00:18Some have a 5,000 packages of those.

00:21The smell of the lady with the kit, there he goes.

00:25Get excited.

00:27Look at the video there, people, you have to open it up.

00:29Let's take our first bite together.

00:33One, two, three.

00:40I hope there's more.

00:42Do it.

00:44Really good.

00:46That's really good.

00:47I like that.

00:49Girl Scouts have been selling cookies for 100 years,

00:52and we have some standard cookies that have been around almost that long.

00:56When we decide to make a new cookie, it's a process.

01:00It took about three years to make Explor-More's.

01:03And that looks, we look at consumer trends, at pricing,

01:07at what the two bakers that service Girl Scouts across the country can do,

01:12and then do a lot of taste testing, consumer testing,

01:15and ultimately, we've landed on a really delicious cookie, I'm really proud of.

01:21That's amazing.

01:22That's amazing.

01:23It's amazing.

01:24It's amazing.

01:25It's amazing.

01:26It's amazing.

01:27It's amazing.

01:28It's amazing.

01:29What Brian says.

01:30There's one last note, and that is, we really hope this inspires you.

01:35It's like a super chocolatey Oreo.

01:37It has a delicious cream that tastes chocolatey, a little bit nutty,

01:40like a real Rocky Road ice cream.

01:43It just tastes so good.

01:44It'll be the perfect addition to Girl Scouts' new line of cookies.

01:53Sorry.

01:54I can try this.

01:55This is too nice.

02:05I kind of think it's like the peanut butter patties, except more chocolatey.

02:09And without the peanut butter.

02:11And without the peanut butter.

02:12But it's really good, and it's really exciting to have a new cookie this year,

02:18and I think it's really good.

02:20I think they should buy this cookie because it's similar to our peanut butter sandwich,

02:26which most people like.

02:27That's a very popular one.

02:29And also just to try something new because we've never had a cookie inspired by a ice cream flavor.

02:37And I think it just kind of brings like a lot of, not memories,

02:42but it brings like a lot of different tastes to it because I feel like it has some nut flavor.

02:46It has a lot of chocolate flavor, and it's really crunchy.

02:49So if you like any of that stuff, they should definitely get it.

02:59And explore more cookie is actually a sandwich cookie that has two chocolate wafers,

03:28with a cream that is reminiscent of Rocky Road.

03:32It has that delicious almond marshmallow chocolate flavor,

03:37and it's just tasty, and people are going to want to buy boxes and boxes.

03:59Cheers.

04:02Welcome to arrive.

04:24Hello.

04:25Welcome to arrive.

04:27Bye.

04:28Bye.

04:28You
