{taste this} thin mint ice cream sandwiches

Welcome to another Girl Scout cookie {taste this} post!!  Soooo, I'm guessing you're here for these little beauties?! 



I know these posts are called {taste this} but if you like Thin Mints (or just the fabulous mint & chocolate combo), you really are going to want to taste these!!  And these are even easier than my Thin Mint Pudding Trifles!

We keep our Thin Mints in our freezer (doesn't everyone?!) so when our local grocery store had ice cream on sale B1G1F and I caved to supported the Girl Scouts outside and came home with 2 more boxes of cookies ... this seemed a natural partnership!


Smoosh a little scoop (maybe around a tablespoon) of mint chocolate chunk ice cream between 2 Thin Mint cookies.  Press the cookies lightly together to even out the ice cream.  Use your finger to smooth around the cookies and remove any extra ice cream.  Pop these little minty bites of perfection back in the freezer to firm up a bit before serving. 

I can tell you that a little birdie told me this probably won't be the last time you see a tasty treat made with Girl Scout cookies ...

This recipe was linked up at all the fabulous parties on my Link page.
