Are you Team Samoa’s or Team Thin Mints?
For years, I was tried and true Team Samoa. I grew up devouring them each Spring whether I was the little scout selling them or my Dad would give into a coworkers plea and bought too many boxes. You see, I couldn’t hang with the scouts for too many years. Kindergarten was the end of that era to be exact.
I wasn’t much of an ‘outdoorsy’ type girl. Rather I preferred the cool air conditioned status and playing dress up with my dolls, being the head of the household in ‘House’ and baking my next batch of cookies in my Easy Bake oven.
Some things never change.
Although one thing that I seem to flirting with lately is my new love of Thin Mints.
Oh that smooth, velvety chocolate and meets the cooling mint and crunch of the buttery shortbread cookie that awaits inside. They seem to have quite the following and I am starting to understand why.
For so many years, I was a die hard Samoa lover for the buttery caramel, the sweet caramel and that chocolate covered shortbread. What was not to love? It was thee idea cookie if you asked me. Well it didn’t have peanut butter but I will forgive them.
With my new love of Thin Mints and Samoa Donuts, I knew my next step. It seemed only natural. And I don’t think you will complain!
What is not to love about one bowl, tender chocolate donuts with a white chocolate mint frosting and a chocolate drizzle? Thin Mints madeover, acceptable for breakfast with no hounding to buy a few more boxes.
Team Thin Mint for the win.
