Girl Scout Cookie Challenge Part II – Tagalong Truffles
![]() |
|
As my pursuit to reinvent the Girl Scout Cookie continues (see Girl Scout Cookie Challenge – Thin Mint Mocha Icebox Cake), my challenge brings me to Tagalongs.
Peanut Butter and Chocolate
One of the most amazing flavor combinations ever created. Being that my Dad is a dentist and deathly allergic to peanuts, these two delicacies were considered “blacklisted” in our household growing up. Needless to say, in my adult life, the Girl Scout Tagalong Cookie has quickly become one of my most favorite treats. Improving on this perfect blend of cookie, peanut butter, and chocolate coating was not going to be easy, but I was up for the challenge.
I stumbled upon my inspiration for this reinvented cookie while playing around on one of my most favorite hobby and interests websites – Pinterest.
Tagalong Truffles Recipe
This recipe was inspired by Oreo Truffles on the Chef-In-Training website.
These no bake truffles are so easy to make and don’t require any special equipment.

Yummy! These are a variation of a candy I have made for years that up north we call Buckeyes. Buckeyes are peanut butter and powdered sugar (no cookies although I have known people to include crushed graham crackers to stretch the recipe) covered in chocolate. They are more like Reese cups. Next time I find Tagalongs in our house I’ll have to try your recipe.
