Homemade Girl Scout Cookies: Samoas | Baking Bites

Alternatively, make your own Thin Mints from Ritz crackers with this recipe:

Thin Mint Cookies Recipe

*Ritz Low Sodium Crackers
*1/2 package dark chocolate chips
*1/2 package milk chocolate chips
*Peppermint extract/flavoring (NOT mint, you want the peppermint)

1. Melt your chocolate chips in a glass bowl in the microwave. Start by microwaving them for about two minutes. Stir well and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each time, until smooth. Add your peppermint flavoring (1-2 teaspoons, to taste).

2. Dip your crackers in the chocolate to cover. This can get messy, so you may want to use a fork to push the cracker down into the chocolate and lift it out. Try to make it a thin layer.

3. Lay each dipped cracker on a piece of wax paper. Allow to cool until chocolate is dry. They peel easily off the wax paper. That's it! Enjoy! This recipe yields about 2 dozen cookies.

Thank-you, Thank-you! I'm a Samoas addict! This looks like a pain-in-the-butt, but might be oh, so worth it!

Well, if you make them at home, you can avoid all of the high fructose corn syrup and trans fats, so they are better for you, RIGHT??

Oooh, that's right! Thanks again!

I might have to try the Thin Mints one. My kids don't like the Samoas that much. I do but I am not eating all those cookies by myself, lol.
