PARALLEL POST AND GIRL SCOUTS OF CONNECTICUT
UNVEIL GIRL SCOUT COOKIE INSPIRED DESSERT MENU
Savor Sweet Treats Accented with Nostalgic Samoas®, Thin Mints® and More Starting Friday, January 23 in Honor of the 2015 Girl Scout Cookie Season
Parallel Post will debut their limited-time-only dessert menu featuring the iconic Girl Scout cookie collection by working together with Girl Scouts of Connecticut. For the first time in Parallel Post’s history, an exclusive dessert menu will be prepared with Girl Scout Samoas®, Thin Mints®, Do-Si-Dos®, and Trefoils®. To commemorate the kick off of the 2015 Girl Scout Cookie season, Parallel Post’s Executive Chef Chris Molyneux and Pastry Chef Madelyn Rendon teamed up to conceptualize and perfect recipes to best accentuate the unmatched sugar, chocolate, caramel, coconut and mint flavorings of select Girl Scout Cookies.
“We are delighted that Parallel Post has conceptualized our cookies in such an original way,” said Mary Barneby, CEO, Girl Scouts of Connecticut. “We are especially honored for their support in purchasing these cookies from our girls as they continue with this special dessert menu through February. Those dining at Parallel Post will not only get a sweet treat, but will learn more about what the Cookie Program gives girls – the skills she needs to thrive, succeed, and become a young entrepreneur!”
In addition to Parallel Post’s existing dessert menu offerings, the exclusive Girl Scout Cookie-inspired dessert options (priced at $5) will include:
