I recently got to attend my first blog conference organized by one of my favorite bloggers Six Sisters. It was such a blast and I loved being able to meet the Six Sisters in person. They are such an amazing and talented group of girls. I learned so much at the conference and was able to make friendships with other fellow bloggers at the conference.

The Six Sisters just released their first cookbook. I was so excited to buy a copy at the conference and there are so many great recipes and fun crafts inside! Book is available here. I have seen these thin mint truffles on pinterest. Thin mint cookies are my favorite girl scout cookies with Samoas coming in at a close second. I knew that I had to make these delicious truffles and I loved how easy they were! I took them to a party with me on Saturday and they were a huge hit. The mint flavor and chocolate in these combined make them amazing!

Rating: 5 stars  Difficulty of Recipe: 2 stars Review:  I used the entire package of cream cheese and the original recipe called for 1/2 package. They were so yummy but you can reduce the cream cheese in half if you want to. These are also so fun for St Patricks Day or anytime you want a fun treat! I will be making these again, especially when thin mints are my favorite!

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 12 Truffles

Ingredients 

  • 1 (9-ounce) package thin mint Girl Scout cookies, or Keebler grasshopper cookies
  • 1 (8-ounce) block cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (12-ounce) bag Guittards Green Mint chips
  • 5 ounces white chocolate chips

Instructions 

  • In a food processor pulse the thin mint cookies until they are a fine consistency.
  • Using a hand mixer whisk together the thin mint crumbs and cream cheese.
  • Roll the mixture into tablespoon-sized balls and set on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Chill the balls in the fridge for at least 2 hours to harden.  This will make it easier to roll the melted chocolate.
  • Melt the green mint chips in the microwave stirring 30 seconds at a time being careful not to overheat. 
  • Roll the balls in the melted chocolate to coat and place them back on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • For the white chocolate drizzle, melt the chocolate 30 seconds at a time until melted. Spoon the melted chocolate into a plastic baggie and cut a tiny slit in the corner and drizzle the chocolate over the top of the truffles.  
  • Store the truffles in the fridge until ready to serve.
