I grew up eating Girl Scout cookies every season. My favorites were the Samoas and Thin Mints. I remember sticking them in the freezer and enjoying them cold. I was excited to try these when I first saw Costco Girl Scout Thin Mint Bites but never got the chance until recently!
Thin Mints Product History and Heritage
The Girl Scout Thin Mints were originally called ‘Cooky-Mints’ in 1939 and ‘Chocolate Mints’ in 1951. To this day, they are the most popular and best-selling Girl Scout cookies.

Costco Girl Scout Thin Mint Bites Rating and Review
Detailed Review:
- Taste/Quality: The taste of these Thin Mints Bites is nearly identical to the real deal, just in bite-sized form! They’re absolutely delicious, and I still need to try popping them in the freezer to enjoy them cold.
- Packaging: The resealable bag makes it easy to preserve freshness.
- Value for Money: It was $14.85. Overall, it’s a good serving size and should last you a while (unless you’re like me and can’t stop snacking!).
Pros:
- Bite-sized—about the size of a Whopper or a Peanut M&M
- Identical flavor profile to the original Girl Scouts Thin Mints
- Crispy cookie center with a minty dark chocolate coating
Cons:
- None (except the calorie count, if you’re watching that)
