My boyfriend is a little crazy and bought 12 boxes of Thin Mints from a local Girl Scout. Much to my surprise, he asked me to find some recipes so I could use up some of the Thin Mints.

I don't think I've ever had a problem with "too many" Thin Mints in the house.

My husband says the best recipe for Thin Mints is to ship them to him. He has graciously offered to accept any boxes your boyf wants to send along.

What a kind, generous husband I have.

We don't get Girl Scout cookies here in Britain so this is pretty unBritish I have to say!!

Anyone want to send some over??

(I had some in Seattle - apparently Thin Mints are good if you put them in the freezer and eat them cold!)
