Gluten Free Girl Scout Trios Cookies Giveaway!

The Girl Scouts are testing a pilot project of gluten free Girl Scout cookies. They are only available in limited quantities, in limited areas. They will do follow-up research to determine if they will continue to sell them in the future. To coax them into carrying them every year, especially the Trios – yum!, I decided to order 6 extra packages to giveaway to one lucky winner. I would like to encourage everyone who wishes for gluten free Girl Scout cookies to be available in the future especially Girl Scout Trios Cookies, to enter, as a way of showing interest to the organization. THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED.

If you wish to provide feedback to the Girl Scout organization, please leave your feedback on my Trios Gluten Free Girl Scout Review page. That page serves as a platform for the Girl Scout organization to judge the level of interest within the gluten free community. There you can tell them if their cookies contain an allergen that you or your child have.

My Review

While the Girl Scouts are selling two different gluten free cookies, the only ones I have tried and reviewed are the Trios. Trios are amazing, at least for gluten free cookies that aren’t homemade. They’re chewy, yet crisp and have everything you may expect in three different cookies…chocolate chips, peanut butter and oatmeal. You can learn more by read my Trios Gluten Free Girl Scout Review.

As far as the other variety of cookies they are selling, I hear they are extremely hard. I am not interested in those at all as I enjoy chewy cookies, or at least crisp, but definitely not hard.

If you cannot find any Trios in your area, you can make similar ones from the recipe that I created, Flourless Copycat Trios Recipe.

Disclaimer: This giveaway is not sponsored by any company. I purchased the cookies online via an invitation I received from a girl scout’s mother. I received notice that they were shipped to me on March 12, 2015. When I receive them, I will hold them for the winner. Please keep in mind, if anything happens to them during shipping, I can be responsible for delivering the prize if they are no longer available. I know that Girl Scouts only have a limited amount of gluten free cookies as they are a pilot project. In addition, keep in mind if your area is hot when I ship them mid April, the chocolate chips may melt.

 

And the winner is…

Renata!
