Thin Mint Blondies

I heart Girls Scout cookies. I don’t know if it’s because I was a girl scout for 10 years (troop 111 baby) or if it’s because the cookies are darn addicting. 

I remember going door to door asking people if they would like to buy some girl scout cookies. I also remember staying outside all day, okay it was probably only 4 hours, but for a 7-year-old it seemed like all day. Any way we would stand outside for about 4 hours at a grocery store selling cookies. I was always nervous to ask complete strangers to buy cookies, but everyone was so nice and bought the cookies.

Girl Scouts taught me so much in life. I used to go to a camp every year for about 4 or 5 years. I learned how to sew buttons onto clothes, learned how to fold an american flag, leaned how to make ice cream and last but not least learned how to be kind and helpful to others. It’s a great organization and I would love to get my daughter into girl scouts one day as well.

Now fast forward 10 years and me being a food blogger, it was a no brainer that I needed to bake something that incorporated Girl Scout Cookies. Originally I couldn’t decide if I wanted use Thin Mint Cookies or Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies. It was a toss-up for me, so I made the hubby decide. We both thought that the Thin Mints would be a new and yummy twist on a regular blondie bar.

This is a standard blondie bar added with Thin Mints and white chocolate chunks. These bars are soft and chewy. Just the way a blondie bar should be. The Thin Mints give it a great crunch and peppermint-y taste. Don’t worry if you don’t have girl scouts in your area. You can get these grasshopper cookies at almost every grocery store and they taste just as great!

So if your obsessed with girl scout cookies like I am ( I did just buy 10 boxes. Oh my.) then you need to make these. They are soft, chewy and peppermint-y with a nice crunch from the cookies and white chocolate chunks. I love these Thin Mint Blondie Bars!
