It's that time of the year – Girl Scout Cookie season! Once you get your “sleeve” of those amazing thin mints, you will have a head start on the ingredients for this recipe! Of course you can use the Keebler Grasshopper cookies, but there is something about those Thin Mints!
This would be a great recipe to make for a birthday party or classroom snack too since the size is small and portable.

- Using a small sauce pan on low heat, melt the chocolate chips – stirring consistently.
- Add the heavy cream and combine. Additional heavy cream may be added to taste, if desired.
