Bam! Girl Scout Cookie Desserts at Emeril's

Emeril's featuring Girl Scout cookies in February deserts
Who can say No to Emeril Lagasse's culinary concoctions? Who can say No to Girls Scout cookies? For the second year in a row, Emeril and the Girl Scouts have "kicked it up a notch". Girl Scouts supply the cookies and Stacy Calles, chef de cuisine at Emeril's Chop House, transforms them into magnificent desserts like caramel de lite coconut cream pie or chocolate chip shortbread mascarpone mousse. Emeril's will offer these desserts during the month of February at its three Sands Casino Resort restaurants in Bethlehem.

In addition to the Chop House, Burgers and More and Emeril's Italian Table are located at the casino, and can be visited by a minor who is accompanied by an adult.

Before offering these treats to the public, they were first taste-tested by Bethlehem-area girl scouts, Troop 880, as they kicked off National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend on February 7.

How will Emeril keep cooks from eating the ingredients?
