Smores for Grown-ups

Confession: I have never been a smores fan. We never had them as kids and when I tried them as a grownup I found them too messy and overly sweet. Our kids love them and when I was collecting the ingredients to make them one evening, I noticed a box of Girl Guide Chocolatey Mint cookies. I usually buy several boxes in the fall and freeze them for later. Hmmm, this seems like something worth using the saved cookies for!

This hardly even qualifies as a recipe but it really deserves to be shared. Make a campfire. Toast a marshmallow. Place it on a Chocolatey Mint cookie (Girls Scout Thin Mint cookie in the US). Top with another one if you aren't rationing your stash of cookies! Enjoy!

If you haven't hoarded any thin mint/chocolatey mint cookies, King Arthur Flour has a recipe for some cookies that will probably do the trick. I haven't tried this recipe but it's King Arthur so I'm sure they will be delicious.
