*This is an updated post from last summer…it needed a little more time in the lime light.*

Welcome back to Fun Friday!  I’ve been loving my decision to write a post each Friday that goes beyond slow cooker stuff.  It’s fun to share other parts of my life with you and one of the biggest parts of my life is dessert.  I love it.  I love to think about it.  I love to plan it.  I love to make it.  I love to eat it.  I love to review it after I’m done eating it.  This dessert is definitely worth making and eating.  I think you will agree.

Do you love Girl Scout Cookies?  Of course you do.  How can you not?  I guess the question should be which Girl Scout Cookie do you like the best?

1.  Samoas
2.  Tagalongs
3.  Thin Mint
Me?  I like them all for different reasons.  The Samoas are chewy and I love coconut!  The Tagalongs are chocolate and peanut butter, a perfect combination.  The Thin Mints are petite and crisp and so yummy when frozen.  Unfortunately, I let the entire Girl Scout Cookie season of 2014 pass my by.  Wah.  
But, I just learned of something that will help ease the pain!  The Nestle Girl Scout Crunch Bars (in 3 different flavors: thin mints, peanut butter creme and caramel and coconut).

These delicious treats are available for a limited time…so make sure to pick yours up now at Walmart .  I found mine at the end cap of a check out counter.  You can eat them straight up (a good option, in and of itself) or if you’re feeling like you want to make a few friends, try this recipe for Individual Peanut Butter Brownie Trifle Cups.  I’m serious.  Feed these to your enemies and they won’t be your enemies any longer. They are sooooooo delicious (yes that “so” deserved all 7 of it’s “o’s”).  
Recipe for Individual Peanut Butter Brownie Trifle Cups I was inspired by the Girl Who Ate Everything‘s individual 7 layer dip and copied her idea to put this trifle in little clear plastic cups!  Wowzas!  This dessert is worth each and every calorie and is also very pretty to look at.  TRY IT!!!!  Now.  No really.  Now.  Get off your bum and go to the store.

    Hi! I’m thinking about making this 🍨!
    However, if you had to charge. How much would you charge individual to make this dessert for 30 people?

        Yes! Keebler Jiff….fudge, peanut butter & crunchy nut cookies. Delicious! Work beautifully. Not all stores carry them, but got lucky when searching for a peanut butter-type cookie and found this at a small market by me. (Thankfully I bought several and put in freezer) Walmart, Kroger and Meijer here in Michigan don’t carry them. Found that out when shopping for more and couldn’t find them so easily. 🙁

    It won't be runny! If you want to serve to a large group you could easily put it in a large clear bowl like this one: http://www.pier1.com/Large-Trifle-Bowl/2292937,default,pd.html?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=PLA&utm_campaign=google_pla&utm_content=2292937&s_cid=pla0000001&kpid=2292937

    Or I suppose a 9 x 13 would work? It just wouldn't show the layers as well. But it would still taste good!

    Would this work well in a 9×13 pan to serve for a big group? Or does it need the individual cups for support since it might be kind of runny?
