Dear Home-Ec 101,
I have all these leftover Thin Mints I don’t know what to do with. Also, I’d like a recipe I can make with the kids, can you help?
Signed,
Shill

It just so happens I have a recipe for ya. How convenient! Here’s the recipe:
St. Patrick’s Cheesecake Muffinly Goodies
2 eight oz. packages cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. mint flavoring
2 eggs
3 drops green food coloring
12 Thin Mints (Girl Scout Cookies)
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees farenheit.
Put the softened cream cheese in a bowl.
Add the sugar.
Add the mint flavoring.
Cream together with blender on medium speed. While you’re blending, have the kids put muffin liners in the muffin tin.
In a separate bowl, crack eggs.
Add 3 drops of food coloring. I thought I’d try to go for a lighter shade of green, so I tried only 2 drops. That didn’t work out so well. Go for the 3 drops.
Add the eggs and food coloring to the mixture in the bowl. Blend on medium speed until smooth.
While you’re busy blending, get the kids to put the cookies in a plastic bag and start smashing. Smash until cookies are in crumbs. (The chocolate will stick to the bag, that’s fine.
Dump the cookie crumbs into the bowl and blend, on- you guessed it! medium speed until well mixed.
Fill muffin cups about 3/4ths full. **Tip** Get a scoop like this. They are so unbelievably fab for filling muffin tins, scooping ice cream, making cookies- everything. Hands down, this is my favorite kitchen gadget.
Poke it in your already preheated 325 degree oven for 25 minutes.
You’ll end up with nifty, cheesecakely-muffinly goodies. Only *yours* will be greeer than mine, because you will have used the full 3 drops of food coloring.

Thin Mints don’t last long enough around these parts to use a recipe like that!
LOL, I meant to make a statement about how SOME people will totally get the “leftover thin mints” thing and some people will gaggle in awe that there are leftover thin mints. Personally, I’m a gaggle in awe person myself, haha.
OMG must…go…find…coookieeees….
(also a…what-is-a-leftover-thin-mint person. like really who doesnt sit down and eat the whole box right then?)
LMAO Bramble, I buy 5 or 6 boxes so I can have a box all to myself
leftover Thin Mints?
*does not compute*
This is probably going to be considered blasphemy to some of you, but I don’t like Thin Mints,I wonder if there’s a variation on the recipe for those of the “Thin Mints are Poopy” persuasion???
http://www.girlscoutstotem.org/Cookies/CookieRecipes.htm heres a whole list of stuff to do with girl scout cookies, not just the thin mint. i imagine if you want like a cookie crumbley crust but not the minty flavor youcould use like oreos or something.
‘Shill’ cracks me up!
Those look yummy, of course I’d have to buy a box just for this purpose. Leftovers? You’ve got to be kidding me!
You mean you can have leftover girl scout cookies??? lol! The recipe sounds great!
Mmmm, I’m so hungry now. I love thin mints!
