Homemade Thin Mints

Apparently there’s a shortage of thin mints this year. Fortunately, those of us in the Pacific Northwest aren’t being affected by this shortage (I guess we don’t like thin mints as much as the rest of the country), but just in case you’re in need of some and don’t have a way to get them, I have a recipe for you! Say hello to homemade thin mints! 

I love Girl Scout cookie season. I mean, who doesn’t? The cookies are good and it it allows young girls to work on their business skills. It’s really a win-win!

This year, a girl in my neighbourhood came to my door with the Girl Scout cookie order form, a hot pink bike and a big smile on her face. I couldn’t say no, I’m a total sucker. Thin Mints are one of my two favourites (the other is samoas) — mint and chocolate is the ultimate combination. But what are you supposed to do when you’ve inevitably eaten all of your Thin Mints and its no longer cookie-selling season?

You make your own homemade thin mints!

These cookies are so easy to make and they’re guaranteed to satisfy any Thin Mint craving you might have, no matter what time of year it is! 

We’re making a crunchy chocolate mint cookies and coating them in peppermint chocolate. You guys, you really can’t go wrong with these. Even the people in my life who “don’t like” mint and chocolate together rave about these. I’m not kidding when I say everyone will enjoy them.

Make a whole bunch of these, then keep them in your freezer. I’ll go on record saying frozen thin mints taste better. This way, you can have a tasty frozen thin mint whenever the craving strikes! 

So head to the kitchen, friends. You don’t want to miss these!

Muffin time! I really love a good muffin. It probably comes from my…ambivalence…about frosting. Don’t get me wrong, cakes and cupcakes covered in frosting have their place in the world, I just prefer muffins filled with fruit and just a little chocolate. Blackberries and chocolate […]
