Girl Scouts Unleash Treats for Dogs and Allergy-Safe Cookies for Humans
You won’t be able to buy Patch Pals and Sparkables from your neighborhood Girl Scout, however.
Girl Scout cookie season, typically beginning in January, has been expanded to include two innovative new treats catering to both dietary restrictions and canine companions. Sparkables, a crunchy oatmeal cookie with chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles, has been formulated for those who are nut-free, gluten-free, and vegan. Created in partnership with Partake Foods, the cookies feature whole-grain oats, organic brown sugar, semisweet chocolate chips, cassava flour, oat flour, and more.
For pet lovers, Patch Pals, a soft-baked blueberry muffin-flavored treat, has been developed by Girl Scouts in collaboration with pet-product company Bark. The treats come in four designs representing iconic Girl Scout patches and are suitable for dogs weighing more than 5 pounds and older than 6 months. The nutritional information and other details can be found online.
It's important to note that Sparkables and Patch Pals will only be available for online purchase, meaning they cannot be ordered from Girl Scouts outside local stores. The new varieties will be shipped when the Girl Scout cookie season officially launches on January 12. Interested individuals can sign up now to receive a reminder when that date arrives.
