Girl Scout cookie season is upon us – and what better way to celebrate than by combining them with alcohol?

Barefoot Wine’s winemaker Jen Wall shares with Fox News the perfect wines to sip with the limited-time treats – which, if anything else, will add a touch of class while you’re feverishly tearing through boxes of Thin Mints.

Shortbread fans love a buttery treat. So, Wall suggests pairing with a buttery wine, like a Chardonnay, which is rich and decadent like the cookie itself.

Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker.

Wouldn’t buy them since they got into the claws of the Sodomites. Besides, they’re too expensive, fewer in the boxes, boxes are smaller, and the cookies are smaller. Plus the proceeds are probably given over to the baby killing Planned Predators.

Dike, lesbo, feminazi, abortion at will cookies? No thank you. I’ll have a bourbon instead and the wine with dinner.

After I bought the cookies, I only had enough money left to buy Wild Irish Rose.

Aldi’s and Kroger have good generic alternatives to Girl Scout cookies.

Barefoot doesn't offer a "perfect" wine. It's swill.

No apologies. A lady at work sells them for her daughters and I bought 4 boxes.

The poor innocent cookies are just pawns in this cruel game.

Don’t blame them.

Girl Scouts should not be supported at all. They are destroying girls. Horrible organization

They aren’t even made from real Girl Scouts.

LOL! I always wanted to ask if they were made from Girl Scouts.

How about never buying cookies from the pro-abortion, baby killing supporting, planned parenthood educated girl scouts in the first place?

See that’s the thing. I’ve always thought Girl Scout Cookies taste like crap. I bought some once and never again.

I used to dip the peanut butter ones in my glass of merlot. Not bad.
