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!

This looks delicious, Leigh Anne! Every year I get anxious around this time, hoping my mother will send a few boxes of Girl Scout cookies in the mail. Sadly, Costa Rica’s version of scouts do no cookie sales whatsoever. Definitely something I should recommend! 🙂 Thanks for sharing your recipe.

My oldest daughter’s favorite GS cookies are Thin Mints, but we’ve recently had to go gluten free and dairy free at home so Thin Mints are out this year. I made this as a surprise for her tonight and she LOVED it and said it tastes like hot Thin Mints! (I used organic sugar and unsweetened soy milk.) Our entire family agreed this was by far the BEST dairy-free hot chocolate we’ve had yet. Seriously amazing stuff, thank you so much for this recipe! I pinned it and know we’ll make it over and over again 🙂

I am so glad your daughter loved it. I have a daughter that is gluten free and dairy free too and it always makes me so happy when I can make something that she loves and can eat!

This looks so good. My mom was a Girl Scout Leader and chaired our cookie drive. That could have been our living room.

Such fun memories!
