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.
Mint Hot Chocolate Ingredients
- Cocoa Powder
- Sugar
- Salt
- Vanilla Extract
- Peppermint Extract
- Milk. I use 2 percent.
- Whipped Cream
How to Make Mint Hot Chocolate
- Mix together sugar, cocoa and salt in a pan.
- Add water and mix until dissolved.
- Bring to a boil and cook and stir for about 2 minutes
- Add in milk and extract.
- Cook until hot. Do not allow to boil.
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!
