A Cool Collaboration with Girl Scouts
Wendy’s has introduced a brand-new Frosty flavor inspired by the beloved Thin Mint cookie. Starting Friday, February 21, the Thin Mints Frosty will be available nationwide, coinciding with Girl Scouts Cookie Weekend. The new frozen treat is a collaboration between Wendy’s and the Girl Scouts, making it easier for fans to enjoy their favorite cookie in a refreshing new way.
Emily Kessler, Wendy’s Manager of Culinary & Innovation and a former Girl Scout, spearheaded the creation of this unique Frosty. She explained the inspiration behind it, saying, “If you’re a Thin Mints fan, you might put them in the freezer. So it’s not a big jump to go to the Frosty, right?” This connection between the frozen treat and the well-known tradition of chilling Thin Mints makes the new flavor a natural fit for Wendy’s menu.
Unlike what some may expect, the Thin Mints Frosty is not simply a chocolate-mint flavored ice cream. Instead, customers can choose between a vanilla or chocolate Frosty base, which is then swirled with a rich chocolate sauce containing finely crushed Thin Mint cookie crumbs. The dessert is topped with a signature “W” drizzle, adding a final touch to the indulgent experience.
Taste Test: Vanilla vs. Chocolate
Food enthusiasts have wasted no time in trying both versions of the Thin Mints Frosty to determine the best option. In a taste test comparing the vanilla and chocolate bases, many found the vanilla version to be the standout choice. The mild vanilla base allows the mint chocolate swirl to shine, creating a balanced and refreshing flavor. The finely crushed cookie crumbs offer a subtle crunch in every bite, making for a smooth yet textured experience.
On the other hand, the chocolate-based Thin Mints Frosty delivers a much richer, more intense chocolate experience. Fans of deep chocolate flavors will find this version especially satisfying. The chocolate-on-chocolate combination enhances the richness, making it an excellent choice for those who love bold and indulgent desserts.
Regardless of the base, Wendy’s ensures that each Frosty is made fresh to order, preventing the cookie crumbs from becoming soggy. This attention to detail maintains the perfect texture, ensuring that every spoonful is just as enjoyable as the first.
The French Fry Test & Pro Tip for Enjoying the Frosty
A popular way to enjoy Wendy’s Frosty is by dipping French fries into the creamy dessert, and the new Thin Mints Frosty does not disappoint in this department. Interestingly, while the vanilla-based Frosty was the preferred choice in the taste test, the chocolate version surprisingly won when paired with fries. The combination of the rich chocolate-mint flavor and the saltiness of Wendy’s fries creates a perfectly balanced sweet-and-savoury bite.
For an even better experience, Wendy’s suggests using an actual Thin Mint cookie as a spoon. This adds an extra layer of crunch and intensifies the minty goodness. Plus, finding Thin Mint cookies should be easy, as Wendy’s has partnered with the Girl Scouts to host cookie sales at over 4,200 locations across the country.
Wendy’s has long been committed to supporting entrepreneurship, aligning with the Girl Scouts’ mission to empower young leaders. With this exciting partnership, Wendy’s not only offers a delicious new treat but also helps local troops reach their goals. Fans of the iconic cookie and Frosty lovers alike now have a new must-try dessert on their list.
