If you're like me, your girl scout cookies are already all gone.
Here's a food storage recipe for a quick and easy thin mint.
Ingredients: chocolate chips, ritz crackers (or the generic brand) and peppermint extract
Although ironically, I didn't have peppermint extract...so I used maple. But I've had them with peppermint and they really do taste like the girl scout cookies.
To melt your chocolate, set up a double boiler , or put a couple of inches of water in a pot and then set another bowl on top of it, not touching the water.
Pop the chips in and stir until they melt.
Keep stirring until the chocolate is smooth. At this point, I still had time to go.
When the chocolate is melted and smooth, add the extract and remove from heat. Use a fork to dip the crackers and cover them with chocolate.
When the crackers are dipped place them on wax paper on a tray.Mine looked less than fancy, but I don't have much experience with candy/melted chocolate etc. But they tasted great regardless of how they looked.
Stick the tray into the freezer until the cookies harden.
Enjoy!Thin Mint Cookies

YUMM!!!!!!
Double YUMM!! I'm making them now.
YUM! Thin Mints are my very favorite. I don't know if they still make them, but Keebler used to make a "Grasshopper" cookie that was close as well.
I made these a couple years ago and my family like them, I like to use almond bark instead of the choc. chips.
