For many, Girl Scout cookie time is the most magical time of the year — the boxes come a’tumbling off the cookie wagon, bringing mouthfuls of sugary joy for as long as they last in the hands of greedy customers, and all is well… at least for a little while.

According to Toymaker Wicked Cool Toys in a press release (PDF), the new oven is safe for kids to use as well as adults. Because let’s face it, there are going to be plenty of adults into this thing.
“The Girl Scouts Cookie Oven lets aspiring bakers experience the hands on fun of making their own Girl Scouts cookies,” the company says. “A real working oven, it comes complete with tolls and mixes that allow girls to make cookies that look and taste just like the real thing.”
The starter kit comes with a Thin Mints cookie mix and a few tools, with additional mixes available for the Peanut Butter Sandwich, Trefoils, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Coconut Caramel, Chocolate Chip, Sugar and Oatmeal from $6.99 to $14.99 for deluxe refill packs. Sure, your cookies might

The oven will hit shelves at toy stores this fall and will set cookie lovers back $59.99 for the chance at DIY cookie joy.
