Girl Scout Cookie® Championship

Host Alyson Hannigan with judges Katie Lee, Nacho Aguirre, and Carla Hall, as seen on Girl Scout Cookie Championship, Season 1.

Food Network and Girl Scouts of the USA® are teaming up to celebrate cookie season with Girl Scout Cookie® Championship – a four-episode primetime series that captures the country’s obsession with the iconic cookies. Hosted by Alyson Hannigan (How I Met Your Mother), each episode challenges five accomplished bakers to transform Girl Scout Cookies® into show-stopping edible pieces of art. Viewers will also be taken behind-the-scenes for an up-close look at how the treats are made.

Girl Scout Cookie® Championship premieres every Monday in February at 8/7c starting on February 3rd and is a perfect reason to gather the troop and have a watch party!
