Since my Samoa Brownies recipe vent viral last month, it has literally become one of my most visited recipes EVER on my blog!
I HAD to come up with another Girl Scout Cookie-type recipe, that is sure to impress!!
Samoas and Thin Mints are my two all time favorite cookies
These cupcakes will BLOW YOU AWAY if you are a fan of thin mints!
They are so easy to put together too!
With Saint Patrick’s Day coming up soon, these would be perfect!
I taste tested one of these (ok, 3 of these lol) and it is a recipe you are going to come back to, time and time again for sure!
The frosting on these is something out of a fairytale LOL
It took everything in me to not do a faceplant right into it! 😀
