I got brain freeze trying both Girl Scouts Thin Mints Frosty flavors for you

Those Girl Scouts have absolutely figured out how to make money in 2025.

When I was a kid, my sister was in Girl Scouts. I helped her go door to door selling Girl Scout Cookies. Our home was then a staging area for the entire troop’s cookie sales, which we then spent an evening separating and getting ready for each Girl Scout to distribute.

Now the Girl Scouts have a website to sell cookies. They’ll ship them to your house. They’ve partnered with brands like Chameleon coffee (the Thin Mints cold brew is pretty good) and now Wendy’s.

The Girl Scouts/Wendy’s partnership delivered a double snacking opportunity beginning Friday, with the Thin Mints Frosty going live in both chocolate and vanilla base flavors.

“The friendship between Wendy’s and Girl Scouts of the USA is mint to be,” Lindsay Radkoski, US chief marketing officer for The Wendy’s Company, said in a statement. “By bringing together two iconic fan favorite flavors into a single spoonful, we’re delivering an exclusive, one-of-a-kind Frosty experience to connect with our Wendy’s fanbase and Girl Scout Cookie supporters alike.”

Well, is the Thin Mints Frosty mint to be?

Where I found it

As always, if you’re buying your Frostys somewhere besides Wendy’s, I think you’re getting scammed.

What I paid

Each small Frosty was $1.49. Be careful using the Wendy’s app, though. I was originally going to put my order in through it but then noticed that the prices shot up to $3.69 each.

My thoughts

The Thin Mints Frostys are the third Frosty variety that I’ve reviewed on Snackology. I’ve previously brought you hard-hitting reporting on the Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty, which was part of the SpongeBob Squarepants collab, and the Salted Caramel Frosty. While the Salted Caramel Frosty was a new Frosty flavor, the Thin Mints Frostys are similar in style to the Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty in that they’re a standard Frosty flavor with a syrup mixed into it —  in this case, it’s a “rich, minty cookie crumble sauce.”

First off, both of my Thin Mints Frostys had the sauce much more well distributed than my Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty did. Bottom, sides, even what I think is supposed to be a Wendy’s “W” on the top — the Frosty artists at my location nailed this one.

OK, let’s get to the chocolate Thin Mints Frosty first. If you’re familiar with The Gospel According to Snackology, the only true Frosty is a chocolate Frosty. Everything else is an imitation.

I appreciate that the sauce is more than just a mint-flavored chocolate syrup. It actually has some grit to it, giving me the impression that there might really be some cookie crumble there.

You can never go wrong with a chocolate Frosty. That classic fast-food dessert is even better with that “rich, minty cookie crumble sauce” drizzled into it. Thin Mints are my go-to Girl Scout Cookie (I’m guilty of eating a sleeve of them in a single sitting more than once), and the chocolate variety of the Thin Mints Frosty is just the right combination of the iconic cookie flavors.

Now on to the vanilla version. Squints at vanilla Thin Mints Frosty. Look, there’s nothing wrong with this one. But it’s still a vanilla Frosty. When I was eating the chocolate version, all was right with the world. While eating the vanilla version, though, the vanilla Frosty flavor overpowered the mint cookie sauce.

Final verdict: BUY the chocolate version, SKIP the vanilla version

Here’s how I can best sum this one up: The chocolate version of the Thin Mints Frosty is a Thin Mints Frosty. The vanilla version of the Thin Mints Frosty is a vanilla Frosty with Thin Mints flavors added to it. And in a world as troubled as ours, why would you stop yourself from enjoying the real deal?
