You guys. This recipe for Thin Mint S’mores is so easy it’s almost not even a recipe. There’s only two ingredients!
Does something ever just hit you and you think “Duh, why haven’t I thought of that before??!!”
That happens to me a lot. More than I’d like to admit, actually.
I mean, it pretty much happens every time I open up Bloglovin to read food blogs. Am I right?
Anyway, the other day at the gym, Hayley and I were torturing ourselves on the stair master and talking about dessert.
{What else is there to talk about on the stair master? Oh, and did you know that Hayley and I are neighbors? She’s, like, the coolest person ever to work out with. Can you say donut leggings?}
We got on the topic of Girl Scout Cookies and what we wanted to do with them and s’mores popped into my head.
I almost considered not even posting it. I mean, it’s so…simple. But then I tasted them.
You all NEED to know about this idea.
Thin Mint S’mores.
Two Thin Mints (or the Keebler Grasshoppers) sandwich a roasted marshmallow.
No need for chocolate bars. No need for graham crackers. Just Thin Mints and marshmallows.
{Side note: think of the possibilities! Oreos. Tagalongs. SAMOAS.}
To toast your marshmallow you have three options:
1. The most fun: blowtorch. Just be careful of your curtains and eyebrows.
2. Over a gas stove. They catch fire easily this way, but it’s (sort of) like an open fire.
3. An actual open fire. But that would mean camping and,well, I don’t camp. Actually, I don’t do fire either, which is why I should get a medal for doing #1 AND #2 for this post.
This is the perfect dessert to take with you on your summer camping trip. Freeze some Thin Mints and pack them when you go.
Or, you know, go make them now. Because it’s too easy not to!
Seriously, I’m doing this with Samoas next. And Tagalongs. And maybe even Lemonades!

This is a bit late…I thought of the idea and wondered if others had tried and how it worked out. Glad to see it does work well.
I thought I would add that toaster ovens work well. Mine takes about 3 minutes but the marshmallows get browned and puffy, and you can turn them over after 2.5 minutes if you like both sides carmelized.
I die!!! We made a fire in our fireplace on Friday with the kids just o make these. They were awesome. You, my friend, are a dessert ninja! So simple yet so divine. Thanks!
OMG that’s so awesome. I love it! Thanks Melissa!!!
These are too amazing for words! LOVE!!
