Thin Mint Imposters
Waaaay Easy. I have absolutely no measurements, but DO NOT be scared, really these are pretty fool proof. I think these taste A LOT like the Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies.
Ingredients:
1 Box Chocolate or Vanilla Wafer Cookies.
*Chocolate ones are harder to find, Vanilla really does work ok.
Chocolate Almond Bark or semi-sweet chocolate chips melted.
(I usually start with 1/2 pkg of almond bark for one batch. )
Peppermint Oil
Directions: Melt almond bark/cc as directed. Add very, very little peppermint oil and mix well. Taste! Taste testing is very important. Some like it really minty some don't. This oil is STRONG stuff DO NOT DUMP. I use a toothpick, Old infant Tylenol dropper or something of the sort. Some come w/a dropper already. If you want more minty flavor add more, but again little at a time. After determining the right amount of mint. Dip vanilla wafers. Tap off excess chocolate and place on wax paper. When chocolate is hard and set. EAT & ENJOY (These are great for Cookie exchanges and FREEZE GREAT.) I would recommend not sharing these cookies in a container w/other cookiesin the freezer as they do give off a small amount of minty "breath"
