Serves: varies
Enjoy Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies anytime you so desire with this super-easy and super-quick 2 ingredient recipe! You can make as many or as few as you wish in just a matter of minutes!
Ingredients
  • Andes Mints (1 mint per cookie)
  • Vanilla Wafers (store brand is fine)
Instructions
  1. Place the Andes Mints in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high until melted. The time will vary depending upon how many mints you are using.
  2. Dip the Vanilla Wafer in the melted Andes Mints and place on a wax paper lined tray. I don’t cover the entire cookie because it’s quicker just to leave the part of the cookie you’re holding without chocolate.
  3. Refrigerate 5 minutes.
  4. Enjoy!
Notes
My son says they taste exactly like Thin Mints even if they don’t look like them!
