For some enthusiasts, I needn’t even go further: they know that this means Girl Scout-cookie cereal is coming.

It’s true: Starting in January 2017, your local grocer will likely stock boxes of the Scouts-branded Caramel Crunch and Thin Mints cereals from General Mills.

Part of the proceeds from the sales will benefit the Girl Scouts.

JUST ANNOUNCED: The 2017 Social Media Conference for PR, Marketing and Corporate Communicators at Disney World.

Fans have rallied around the first images of the boxes, which come courtesy of CandyHunting:
