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.

Great idea!
I made a bunch of recipes last year with my thin mints and I can’t wait to dive in again this year!

I just bought a pack of girl scout cookies the other day – YUM! I remembered how much I love Samoas and Thin Mints. Will have to try this Krispie Treat recipe!
Yum! Though I tend to go for Samoas over Thin Mints, I definitely want to stock up so I can make some of these fabulous krispie treats!!!
Samoas would be awesome in krispie treats! With some toasted coconut mixed in…oh yummm!
made these but with regular rice krispies… so so so good!!!
i love your site!
I actually walked past the girls selling Girl Scout cookies at the grocery store today, but now I’m regretting it!!
We went to the mall yesterday too and omg where do all those people come from!!?? I wish there had been girl scouts there. Then again, i still have 10 boxes in my living room…
I love all your rice crispy recipes! This is perfect for St Patricks Day!
Oh Thin Mints how I love thee! These are insane with the baking bits on top too!!
