Notes

Do I have to add food coloring?
Of course not!! The green food coloring is just to make it green in celebration of St.Patrick's day. If the color doesn't matter to you, you can totally leave it out.
I can't find girl scout thin mints!? How can I still make this?
You can absolutely use the true authentic Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies but it definitely don't have to. I have found thin mint style cookies at Aldi and Walmart (& I'm sure some other stores) that work perfect for this.
