So this is my secret to having those wonderful Girl Scout Cookies "Thin Mints" any time of the year! So easy to make. I saw Sandra Lee on Semi Homemade make these one time and I made them even easier. so here's my take on her recipe. 2 bags of "Andes" creme de menthe baking chips.
(may need a tablespoon of shorting or butter)
1 box of Nabisco's "Nilla Wafers"
Melt the chips in microwave, add the shorting to thin it out if it's to thick. Dip nilla's in melted chips and put on wax paper. Stick them in the freezer until frozen and Wa La, Thin Mints!! You'd really be surprised at how much they really do taste like the real things. If you can't find the Andes chips, try her recipe, she used 2 bags of semi sweet chocolate chips and added peppermint flavoring. My way was just easier.

thank you gigi for posting this.
believe it or not I still have girl scout cookies at my house.
These thin mints sound like they might be even better than the girl scout cookies. I'll definately have to try them.
Will there be one on my pillow tonight? I wasn't expecting turn down service, but that would be great!
I will definately be givning these a try. Thank you!
There are no girlscouts in Shishmaref, Alaska. There are no Andie's chips either, but this recipe looks both easy and good!! Thanks for posting.
