Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies-A Story And Recipe

Ahhh...yes...

Girl Scout Cookies!

MyHero's favorite?

Thin Mint Cookies.

I will get to the recipe

in a minute...

but first I want to share

a quick story..

as if I have ANY quick stories

My little Mimi

got an award

for selling

the MOST girl scout cookies

in 1984.

You know how that happened?

That happened because

MamasBoy and his big

brother went into the storeroom

where we had the packages saved

and ate a few cookies out

of EVERY single box of

cookies..and sealed them

back up...

MamasBoy was only 4

so you can guess who had the

big idea to eat them.

Anyway, we paid out well

over $200. for those stinking

cookies.

That was back when a mortgage

payment was about $200.

Yeah..and we were young

and broke.

We sure had a lot of cookies

for desert for a few months.

Anyway~

Then, as now, the

THIN MINT COOKIES

are always the first to go.

So, here is a quick and easy

version to make your own.

This is SO EASY!

How easy you ask?

Well, this is

SO EASY that even

Laurie, over at Heaven's Walk

can make them.

Yes. She. Can.

Gotcha, Laurie

You need:

Andes Mints.

Unwrapped, of course.

(got that part, Laurie?)

Melted in the microwave.

It took one minute in my mic.

You need:

Ritz crackers

(Unwrapped, Laurie)

Then you simply

dip the crackers one by one

(use a fork & let the

excess chocolate run back

into the container)

(I can't find that picture-UGH)

And place them on

BUTTERED

Tin Foil.

I tried the rack..

Not pretty coming off.

I tried wax paper..

that was worse..

Then the

MAGIC SOLUTION

Buttered tin foil.

These are the backs
coming off the foil.

Let cool and eat.

MyHero is a

Happy Camper.

He likes them frozen.

If he can wait for them

to freeze.

See, Laurie...I told you

these were easy-peasy.
If THIS blond can make them..
SO CAN YOU!

Now Laurie might not be a

great baker,

but she IS a

GREAT FRIEND..

and so darned cute

you almost want to

hate her.

But I don't!

Here she is with her
sweet husband...

Laurie- Eat and Enjoy..

Because the more

you eat, the fatter you get..

and the better

I LOOK!

Amen!
