Enjoy all the flavor of a Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookie in the form of mint hot chocolate.

One thing I am unable to say no to?  A cute little Girl Scout selling Girl Scout cookies.  I was a Brownie and a Girl Scout and my mother was my leader, wasn’t I cute?

My girls were also Brownies and Girl Scouts and I was their leader so I have a special place in my heart for the program and I can never turn away a Girl Scout ringing my door bell selling cookies.  When I had a lot of little Girl Scouts in my neighborhood I had to pace myself and only buy a few boxes from each one so I didn’t end up with a two year’s supply of Girl Scout cookies.  Now I only know one little Girl Scout so I always load up when she calls me.

Thin Mint Hot Chocolate

Thin Mints are my favorite!  Hands down, no contest!  I always stash a few boxes of Thin Mints away in the freezer.  I think that is the best way to eat a Thin Mint – frozen.  But eventually they are all gone and I am left patiently waiting for the next season of Girl Scout Cookies to arrive.

Well, I have found a solution to my lack of Thin Mints cookie problem.  Thanks to today’s recipe I can now enjoy a mug of warm, yummy Mint Hot Chocolate that tastes just like a Thin Mint Cookie.

And if you are lucky enough to have a box of Thin Mints around crush up a few to sprinkle on the top and then add a little Thin Mints side car.  They are so yummy once they melt a little in the hot chocolate.

So what’s your favorite Girl Scout Cookie?  Tagalongs come in second for me although I think my husband would choose Samoas!

    I found this recipe on Pinterest and I’m so glad I did! I have made this recipe almost every day for the last week! My son and I just love it and it really does taste just like Thin Mint Cookies. I found the recipe a little sweet so I reduced the sugar to 1/4c and it is just perfect. Thanks!
