Girl Scout Cookie Trifle

The annual sale of Girl Scout cookies is an event not just for young entrepreneurs, but also for those of us with a tender heart and sweet tooth. You can eat a box all by yourself, or make a lovely Girl Scout Cookie Trifle and share it at your next dinner party. Contact your nearest and dearest scout to order the cookies, and hit the grocery for the rest.

What Are Tagalongs® Girl Scout Cookies?

Tagalongs® are Girl Scout cookie that has been around for a long time. These little treats combine peanut butter and chocolate in a truly irresistible way. They feature a crisp, buttery shortbread cookie that’s topped with a thick layer of creamy peanut butter filling. This peanut butter layer is then generously coated in a rich, fudgey chocolate coating. The bite that this combination creates combines salty peanut butter, sweet chocolate, and a satisfyingly crunchy cookie base. This makes them the perfect addition to our Girl Scout Cookie Trifle.

Instructions

1. In a large trifle dish, layer the chocolate pudding, peanut butter mousse, brownie crumbles, and Tagalong cookies in layers.
2. Once the trifle dish is layered to the top, garnish with the green “moss” cake crumbles.
3. This can be garnished with gummy worms, edible flowers, or rock candy. Have some fun with it! We chose to make edible white chocolate mushrooms using silicone molds we found on Etsy.

For the homemade peanut butter mousse:

1. In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar until smooth and combined. Set aside.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream to stiff peaks.
3. In thirds, gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until combined.
