Mmmmmmm girl scout cookies.

[jaina]

Went to the grocery store today and wouldn't you know it, there were Brownies out in front, hypnotizing us all into buying even more Girl Scout cookies. Oh darn.

So I came home and made some more Thin Mint truffles! They were mostly a success the last time I tried them, and judging by the reaction of the boys when I dropped them off at their Trek tournament just now, they were pretty good this time too.

I didn't follow the recipe exactly; I just used one sleeve of Thin Mints, mixed with the crushed Oreos leftover from last time (about six cookies), and added cream cheese until I got the right consistency-- about 2.75 oz or so. It made 20 little truffles. I did better with the dipping this time, but I'm certainly no Bakerella! I think I need to get some paramount crystals if I'm going to be using candy melts in the future. But I liked them enough to take some pictures:

you are evil. you have taken meth cookies to a whole new crack level.

now my rice cake looks even worse. I really hate dieting during girl scout selling season.

Ummm...maybe run more to burn off the meth cookie calories?

Tasty and easy to make, too! ;-)

Oh... those look yummy!
Similar to the Cake Balls I make, but tinier and just as yummy!

Must try.

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

Yes, you must try! They're just like cake balls/cake pops only with cookies instead of cake. Mmm...now I want to make cake pops...
