Girl Scout Cookie Milkshakes Are Back at Hopdoddy Burger Bar

— Because it’s Girl Scout Cookie time, Hopdoddy Burger Bar is bringing back its milkshake collaboration with the organization. The Thin Mint Shake uses vanilla ice cream, mint white chocolate sauce, and Thin Mint crumbles. That’s topped with whipped cream and even more Thin Mint pieces. The shakes are available starting today, Wednesday, February 7 through Wednesday, February 27 for $6.

Hopdoddy held a competition to select which troop from the Girl Scouts of Central Texas would provide the boxes of Thin Mints this year. Participating troops had to talk about what they would do with the money they raised. Two winners were already selected.
