Thin Mints have always been my favorite Girl Scout Cookie, so I've been thinking about trying the homemade version ever since I saw the show. I got around to it a couple of days ago, but I did it a little differently: I used organic vanilla wafers (the Nabisco ones have trans fats), therapeutic-grade essential oil of peppermint, and Ghirardelli dark chocolate. I had to put them in the freezer to solidify the chocolate (but I live in Southern California, so you might not have to if you live somewhere cooler). They came out delicious - crispy, chocolaty, and minty. I might make these to give away around the holidays.

Oh my word...I am SO making these. And definitely with your suggested substitutions. If they turn out I'm stealing your idea for holiday gifts...I'm always making things for neighbors, teachers and our mailman and these would be perfect! YUM!
