As I shared on Twitter this morning, we supported the Girl Scouts very well this weekend, and do every year! :o) But our Thin Mint cookies are all gone and we are sad like many of you! The Girl Scouts will still be selling their cookies here in ATL through March 29th so there is still time to buy more. I was a Girl Scout for several years (yeah, I know, you're all probably not surprised! HA), and have very fond memories of selling cookies with my mom who volunteered as our scout leader for one or two years. This is how they earn money for camp and other activities so please DO support your local troops if you can! You can visit the main Girl Scout web site at www.girlscouts.org for information on scouting, or find out where cookies are being sold over the next few weeks in YOUR town at www.girlscoutcookies.org.
Thin Mint Cookies

Ingredients:
Ritz crackers
Peppermint extract
Chocolate almond bark
Directions:
This is how I make these delicious cookies... Melt about 6 ounces of almond bark at a time in the microwave and add 12 drops of peppermint. Quickly dip crackers into chocolate, thoroughly covering both sides, then place on waxed paper to cool. You may want to use a toothpick to help you move the crackers in and out of the chocolate. We usually use several and make a good mess but it is all worth it!
You may not think these chocolate covered crackers could possibly taste like Thin Mint cookies, but they do! :o)
Of course, the original Girl Scout Thin Mint cookie is the BEST, but this recipe can get you by during the rest of the year if you miss them like we do. This recipe was originally shared with us a few years ago by a member of our Cookie Club, we'd love to have you join us!
P.S. Thank you to the Girl Scouts for letting me borrow the cookie photo, I would take a picture of our Thin Mint cookies for you but they are all gone!
