Thin Mint Trifles

There is something so awesome about Girl Scout cookies. From childhood memories of selling them myself (though,  I never made it past Brownie) to a secret love for the little buggers, they are awesome. So, when I saw something like 20 boxes in my father's pantry, I first worried that he was stocking up for doomsday, then 'borrowed' a few boxes for creation. We've been enjoying sweet desserts with the classic Girl Scout cookies hidden in here and there for weeks.

I saw these beautiful Tagalong Peanut Butter Parfaits last year on My Kitchen Addiction and fell in love with the idea. So when I looked at the three boxes of Girl Scout Thin Mints I had left I knew exactly what I wanted to make.

 I knew this simple dessert was going to be good.... I didn't know it was going to be 'that' good. Make an extra one for yourself, you're going to need it. 😉

    These look brilliant, I could just eat one now. I'm not sure what we have similar in the UK to the girl scout cookies though...

    I love girl scout cookies and thin mints are one of my favorites. I freeze them though and eat them cold lol. This trifle sounds so good.

    See, I don't like mint. Especially not in my chocolate. I committed the apparently mortal sin of spitting out a Thin Mint I was pressured into trying anyways. Now, Samoa trifles, that would be my kind of thing 🙂 (And my wife would inhale the Thin Mint trifles).

    Look at all those "light" ingredients:-) Does that mean I can eat a few trifles at a time?

    OMG tagalong parfaits & thin mint trifles - it's like girl scout cookie heaven!! I love how they're individual servings - no danger of eating a whole large trifle of girl scout cookies on my own! 🙂 This sounds amazing!

    You made me spit out my raw veggies I was eating! PA-TOOEY! I don't want raw veggies when I can have THIS! Omg, these are our favorites too. I swear I smell them now...mmmm!

    You did a great job with these! I am very impressed. I love the contrast of the green mint!

    I LOVE your recipes but don't comment - ever. I'm one of those silent readers who gets it via email and drools over the recipes. All of your stuff always looks so good and tempting

    I also hail from the small town of Newark and every time I go into the co-op I think "I wonder if she has any of her delicious creations at the comic book store with her?!" haha I promise I won't creepy stalk you. I just wanted to comment and say Hi to a fellow Delawarean

      Don't worry, I've had weirder things happen at the comic shop than someone asking for baked goods. 😉 I wouldn't find it stalkerish at all. Thanks for saying Hi. I am a silent reader on a ton of sites myself so I totally get it.

    I only have four or five boxes of these in the freezer. (I don't know how many we ordered from the niece---enough for her to get a merit badge, surely.) What a great recipe to use them up and fantastic pics!

    Wow, these look fantastic. I never made it past Brownie either, I really didn't want to wear the green uniform to school and carry my violin as well. Wish I had kept up the violin though. Beautiful photos and congrats on the Top 9.

    Ugh, LOVE girl scout cookie season! My friend from work has two little girls, so I always end up buying a few boxes from him. I didn't get thin mints this year but now I wish I did!! I'll have to see if I can find a troop selling outside the grocery store or post office 🙂 These look delish!

    I'm (sort of) glad I don't have pudding, cool whip, or thin mints on hand because, if I did, I'm fairly certain I would have made these and eaten every single one of them!
