I’m pretty sure somewhere in the world, a cute little Girl Scout is selling her cookies… and people are going crazy over them. Well, I’m not sure how many folks really go crazy over them but I know I’ve been guilty of buying my fair share of boxes of Girl Scout cookies. After polishing off a box or two enjoyed as is, I realized I could have some fun with them by incorporating them in other recipes. My friend Megan must have read my mind because she made these Thin Mint Truffles the other day. If you’re looking for a new, fun way to eat your Girl Scout cookies, you should check out this recipe!…
1/2 box of Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies (1 sleeve) + 3 cookies
4 oz Cream Cheese, softened
In a food processor, process 1 sleeve of Thin Mints Girl Scout Cookies until they resemble course sand.
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and add the cream cheese. Mix together by hand until fully incorporated. Scoop out by the tablespoon (or use a small scoop) and roll into a nice ball in your hands to form truffles.
Pulse the extra 3 cookies in the food processor until it resembles course sand and place in a small bowl. Roll the truffles in the processed cookie crumbs to coat.
Chill coated truffles for at least an hour to set up…. or overnight for flavors to really develop with the cream cheese.
YUM! We still have some thin mints in our freezer, I'll have to try these…I made mint oreo truffles around Christmastime and they were a hit! 🙂
These look truly amazing. They are so pretty and I love that it involves only 2 ingredients.
I always have a soft spot for anything with Thin Mints…and oh holy cannoli – I could eat a plate of these. Mmmmmmm…
Wow, what a great idea! I LOVE thin mints!
These sound wonderful! I loooove thin mints!
Oh yum! Just cream cheese and Thin Mints? Those sound extremely indulgent and simple! I have to try these soon!
Mmmmm…these sound WAY better than the Oreo version!
These look so yummy and decadent! I always loved Thin Mints and these look even better!!
Ahhhh..thanks girl for the shout out!!!!!
Would you mind if my Girl Scout troop shares this recipe with buyers (with a credit to your site, of course)?
