I wasn't overjoyed with this. Personal tastes I'm sure. I tried Ritz crackers and the chocolate wafers and actually like it with the crackers better, but again...personal tastes. The recipe was easy enough - I used the Andes chips and Nestles Mint Chocolate Chips and a little bit of Crisco

When I saw "Girl Scout Cookies", I couldn't resist trying this recipe out! I did things a bit quicker though- Substituting the chocolate with Andes Baking Chips. Just popped them in a bowl in the microwave, and drudged Chocolate Graham Cracker Sticks through the melted mint bliss! Layed them out on foil and let'em set in the fridge for about 15 mins. LOVED THEM. I'll be sure to keep these ingredients on hand to subdue my sweet tooth. Very simple. I'll have to rate it a 4 though since i just went by the basic idea. Thanks!!!

Oh - these are so good! I will never buy girl scout thin mints again (sorry girl scouts!). Instead of melting chocolate in a double-boiler, I used 1/2 a package of chocolate almond bark (on the baking isle). That's what I use for all my chocolate needs. It melts in the microwave in 90 seconds - so easy. I added the pepperment extract, and the chocolate got a little weird. So per the package - I added a tiny bit of shortening, and the chocolate was perfect for dipping. I used a big bowl, throw in a few crackers and mix around with a spoon. Then I fish out the crackers with the spoon, and lay them on a lined baking sheet. I don't put mine in the freezer to set - they get all sweaty when you take them out. Instead, I delay my pleasure for about 20 minutes - and let them set on the countertop until they are ready. It's worth the wait!

ok.... i feel kinda of special after reading about how easy these were to make, saying that ive had trouble.. :)BUT i had trouble.. i dont know if maybe i overcooked the chocolate, but the chocolate was fine, smooth and a nice manageable consistency until i added the mint, then it went to this thick mass of chocolate that wouldnt stick to the crackers (it did taste good though :D) thanks UPDATE: You have to use an oil based mint flavor.. So mint oil instead of just plain extract.. (extract will kill your chocolate) Once i figured this out the cookies ROCK! My family asks me to make them constantly. Thanks for the recipe!

GREAT and oh so easy. I would stick with the bittersweet (which is not really bitter). If you use milk chocolate, they are to soft to hold unless you keep them in the refrigerator. Also, like someone else said, there is a faint salt taste. FIXED: I now make these with LOW SODIUM Ritz and there's no after taste. You can also buy the chocolate wafers that another writer uses. All in all a great, great time saver.

So easy! What a great idea...that I kind of changed. Instead of Ritz crackers, I used Nabisco Famous chocolate wafers and melted Andes mints. I am not even kidding how great these were! Thin, crispy and chocolaty! I am thinking about making sandwiches with the wafers with marshmellow cream in the middle and then dunking them in the melted Andes mints. Oh the possibilities! Try these, you won't be sorry!

Wow! These are awesome! I thought this sounded like a really strange combination of ingredients, but after reading the reviews I decided to give it a try anyway. Very glad I did! I will definately be making them whenever I get an off-season craving for girl scout cookies.

EXCELLENT!!! These have become a must-have in my home. The only minor adjustment I made was to use semisweet chocolate (either bars or chips) to make it more sweet. I have always loved the famous Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies, but hated having to pay so much for them! This tastes EXACTLY like those. It takes a minute to heat the chocolate, a minute to cover the crackers, and a minute to cool. So easy for such a great recipe. THANK YOU!!!

Could NOT be easier! Kids can make this in a snap. Heck, monkeys could make this! I bought the Andes baking chips from my grocery store, melted a couple handfuls in the microwave in a creme brulee cup for about 30 seconds, then mixed it with a fork to be sure it was all melted through. I just dropped my reduced-fat Ritz crackers into the creme brulee cup with melted chocolate (perfect size cup for a Ritz) and used two forks to turn and coat the cracker. Set on paper plates (out of wax paper) and put the plates in the freezer for about two minutes. THAT'S IT FOLKS!! Clean up is a snap! My husband was AMAZED at these. He kept saying "How did you do that?" and looking around the kitchen like there must have been more pans or ingredients; like it was magic. :) In all fairness, there is a teeny tiny, very faint salt taste from the crackers if you really examine them -- but not enough to detract from the taste in any way. I will keep my eyes peeled for plain chocolate wafer cookies. Or, if you really wanted to go for broke, you could buy a bag of oreos and twist apart each cookie to use the two chocolate wafers; you'd have yourself a true thin mint then. This would work well to make mint chocolate dipped oreos, or to dip the ends of a biscotti ... the possibilities are endless. People look so stunned and confused when after biting into the cookie I hearing me say, "It's a Ritz cracker!" Really a fun recipe. :)

What a cool recipe. The reviews are true - they really taste just like the Girl Scout variety. I froze mine initially and put into a cookie container the following day. They seemed to hold their shape better that way; otherwise they become very melty in your hands very quickly. I used the 2-fork method as other cooks did.

We all loved these. When i went to the baking section to buy the bitter sweet chocolate I discovered a package of Andes baking chips. I melted these slowly in the microwave and dipped the crackers in that. Talk about easy.

This is such a good cookie! Very intersting how a cracker can turn into something so delicious. Also used 2 bags of Andes mints. Kept the chocolate melted in my chocolate dipping pot. Used tongs to flip the crackers. My 5 year old daughter made almost the whole batch after showing her how to do it so really not complicated.

These were simple to make and extremely good. I don't have to wait for my annual fix of GS thin mints- I can enjoy these at anytime. I reduced the recipe and yielded 15 vs. 20. All in all, very pleased and will definitely make these again!

I don't know if I would say they taste just like the girl scout cookies, but close...and much cheaper! My son loved them but my daughter took one bite and wouldn't touch it again. A bit time consuming but still very easy!
