This weekend was pretty busy.
Most weekends are, nowadays.
The time in my life where I lazed about on Saturdays and Sundays is a thing of the past.
Now, it’s sports games, food shopping, cleaning, laundry, Home Depot…
Today I went to the mall. On a Sunday. I urge you to never go to the mall on a Sunday.
Utter chaos, I tell you.
I like the week-day mall scene, where its moms and grandparents and babies in strollers.
Not the weekend mall, where it’s lots of high school kids standing around in groups blocking my way to the Cinnabon counter.
Don’t you kids have chores to do?
I am apparently 80 years old.
BUT at the mall today there were girls selling Girl Scout cookies. It’s all about the silver lining.
So yeah…that leads me to now. Thin Mint Krispie Treats. You need them in your life.
Thanks, Sunday Mall.
First chop up some cookies.
Then make some krispie treats with Cocoa Pebbles. Add in your cookies and stir it up with love.
Last, add in one cup of Andes Creme de Menthe Baking Bits. It’s your secret ingredient.
Press them all in the pan, press on some more Andes Mints on top and cut into squares.
Minty goodness.
A Thin Mint isn’t just a Thin Mint anymore.

Have you thought about making a cereal treat cookbook? Because your ideas are ALL genius. And I need them all in one place so I can sit on my couch and look at them instead of doing productive things. Please say you’ll think about it!
Helloooo publishers of the world, are you LISTENING to my friend here?
I love rice krispie treats..and you are coming up with some doozies! These are my Mom’s fave cookies..maybe I need to make her a batch! 🙂
Thin mints, marshmallows, and Andes. What more could you ask for?!
These are the silver lining on Sunday Mall? Shoot. And I stayed inside and ate cereal for dinner.
I love thin mints and to have them as marshmallow treats is genius! I’d love for you to share this yummy recipe at Mix it up Monday:

I hope to see you soon 🙂
I made “thin mint” krispy treats a few weeks ago but without actual thin mints, I love that yours have a double dose of chocolate and mint ingredients combined with cocoa pebbles. I might have to make these JUST so I have an excuse to buy some cocoa pebbles…
Weekday mall is like a whole different time warp. It’s happy and calm and I can walk right up and get a pretzel and find somewhere to sit like, no biggie. Weekend mall is from the devil.
So are these krispie treats. But in a good way.
Alright so I need to find a mall in Manhattan…ON IT.
YUM-O!!! These look incredible!!!
Soooo…..I just found your blog via Kevin and Amanda, and what can I say? You had me at Thin Mint Krisy Treats! I just finished off a box of Thin Mints last week, but it looks as if I shall have to hunt down a girl scout just to make these yummy looking treats! I look forward to reading your entire blog and finding plenty of ways to add some more junk to my trunk! 😉
