THIN MINT TRUFFLES
We ordered 5 boxes of cookies, and I immediately regretted that we didn’t get more. You know… you can freeze them for months.
Although, our freezer is already stuffed to the brim with half-eaten desserts, so maybe it’s better this way.
What a perfect time to share these Thin Mint Truffles. Not only do they honor ‘girl scout cookie season,’ which is an actual event to plan for in the food blogging world, but they’re also sort of appropriate for St. Patty’s Day too since they are mint, and have some green color.
These Thin Mint Truffles aren’t all that different from the recipe for Oreo Cookie Balls. You start with crushed cookie crumbs, add cream cheese, and roll into balls. Dunk in chocolate, and that’s it. They’re no-bake and simple to make. Basically, substitute crushed Thin Mints for Oreos, add a little mint extract, and you’ve got these instead.
