Girl Scout Cookie: Thin Mints

Two separate bakers process thin mints cookies for the Girl Scouts: ABC Baker and Little Brownie Baker. While there is a slight difference in the nutritional values of the cookies from one baker to the next, the total calories per serving is the same.
One serving of four Thin Mints cookies contains 160 calories, 7 grams of total fat, approximately 21 grams of carbohydrates, and up to two grams of protein.
Read this nutrition report for a detailed overview of the nutrition facts, calories by macronutrients, ingredients, and allergens in the minty, chocolatey treats.
Because the Girl Scouts utilizes two suppliers (ABC and Little Brownie) for their crisp, chocolaty Thin Mints cookies, we compare the similarities and differences of each option.
Contact your local Girl Scout council or check the labels on the packaging to confirm which baker produced your cookies.
