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.

I’m in a rice-krispie-treat death match with a cousin, and I am determined to WIN. This might be just the recipe I need to give me the winning edge! Thin Mint Krispies are like a kick in the face to her boring old orange-with-mini-chocolate-chips krispie treats! Thanks!
Follow up: I made a slightly modified version of this today, and let me tell you, they are divine! I’m so glad you gave me the idea!! I’m getting ready to blog about this now. Is it too presumptuous to just go ahead and declare myself the Krispie-Treat-Death-Match winner now?
you’re challenging me?
Mint, Chocolate and Krispie treats!? Yum! All my fave things in one treat. My kids would love these. And talking about kids: yes, my kids do chores… sometimes, lol. I think it’s important but quite unheard of now. I must be 80 too!
Also, just wanted to let you know that I’ve hit you up with a link to your blog back on my blog. Your blog and work is fantastic so definitely link worthy! 🙂
