The Chocolatey Girl Scout Cookie That's Inspired By A Popular Depression-Era Dessert - Tasting Table
"Exploremores are sandwich cookies, similar to another Girl Scout favorite, Do-Si-Dos. Instead of crunchy oatmeal and peanut butter, these offer flavors of chocolate, marshmallow, and toasted almond-flavored crème."
"The story goes that at this time - at the start of the Depression - the confectionery masterminds behind Dreyer's ice cream, William Dreyer and Joseph Edy, concocted the new creation to 'make folks smile.'"
"With that kind of nostalgic backstory, Exploremores feel like an easy sell. They're also the shiny new cookie on the Girl Scout lineup that's bound to spark curiosity."
"After giving them a try pre-launch, one of our reviewers, Emily Hunt, labeled the Exploremores as a must-try, even though they had their faults."
The Girl Scout Cookie season is eagerly anticipated, with the introduction of a new cookie called Exploremores in 2026. These sandwich cookies feature flavors reminiscent of rocky road ice cream, including chocolate, marshmallow, and toasted almond-flavored crème. The flavor is inspired by a recipe dating back to the Great Depression, created to bring joy during tough times. Despite their nostalgic appeal, early reviews of Exploremores have been mixed, with some reviewers finding them worth trying despite certain shortcomings.
