CHARLESTON -- While people may be familiar with the popular Girl Scout cookies in the spring, they may not have heard of Dulce Daises, Peanut Butter Penguins or Mint Trefoils.
Those are just a few of the tasy options the Charleston-based Girl Scouts of Black Diamond Council are selling as part of this year's fall product program.
"If you've had a Girl Scout cookie, you know how delicious Girl Scout products are," said Beth Casey, CEO of Girl Scouts of Black Diamond.
"They are great and make perfect gifts for friends and family. And all the while, you're supporting Girl Scouts to help them learn goal-setting, decision making, money management, business ethics and people skills."
The fall product program launched online Thursday with an assortment of nuts and candy such as everything seasoned cashews, pecan supremes, chocolate covered almonds, dark chocolate sea salt caramels, granola cluster breakfast blend trail mix, honey barbecue snack mix, GORP (good old raisins and peanuts) trail mix and others.
The sale includes magazine subscriptions as well, for example, to Vogue, Bon Appetit and Better Homes and Gardens.
Girl Scouts are selling the products through their online storefronts. Contact a local Girl Scout to place an order for candy, nuts and magazines or purchase directly from the council by e-mailing nutsandcandy@bdgsc.org.
"If you're not interested in purchasing treats for yourself, consider purchasing items as part of the 'Care to Share' initiative, where those candy and nuts will be donated to West Virginia Gold Star Mothers and the West Virginia National Guard Foundation," Casey noted.
