Thin Mint Muddy Buddies

Hi. My name is Alyssa and I am addicted to Muddy Buddies. Ok phew. The first stage is admitting it. Unfortunately I have also accepted the fact that I will always be addicted! What is it with these that are so delicious? I even had to get a bag on our most recent road trip. They weren’t the same as a fresh batch made at home, but they still were great! Someone told me a few weeks back when I posted the last muddy buddy recipe that I should make a mint kind. I gladly took on the challenge. Holy yum! I loved the mint flavor in these! And the tiny thin mint cookies that coated the outside made them extra amazing! So fun for St Patricks Day, girl scout season, or really any time of the year!

Rating: 5 stars  Difficulty of Recipe: 2 stars
Review:  I made this with mint chips but wonder if using white chocolate chips with some mint extract would work as well. I loved the minty flavor in this and the fact that they had my favorite girl scout cookie in them made them a win!
