It’s officially Girl Scout Cookie season, which is great, but it’s also a reminder that these treats are a seasonal item one cannot purchase year-round. (Although one could, in theory, buy them in bulk and freeze them to have them for the rest of the year, if one really wanted to.)

The good news is that you can now purchase candles that smell like your favorite Girl Scout Cookie flavors to keep the _essence_ of Girl Scout Cookies going all year long. Yankee Candle [has launched](http://www.yankeecandle.com/browse/%5F/N-1z140cn) a new collection featuring four scents: Thin Mints, Trefoils, Chocolate Peanut Butter and Coconut Caramel Stripes.

All varieties are available as a large jar candle, a small tumbler candle or a car air freshener, so you can make your vehicle smell delicious too.
