I recently discovered there is nothing better than my favorite classic Thin Mint Girl Scout cookie on a stick. They are so yummy, easy to assemble, and a crowd favorite….. even if you are not team Thin Mint.

Thin Mint Cake Pops

Lily’s bestie is a Girl Scout so of course, we showed our support with more than a few boxes of cookies this season. I had some fun a couple of weeks ago decorating a cake using the new Adventureland cookie and thought I would play around with a sleeve of Thin Mints.

Ingredients for Thin Mint Cake Pops

Makes 20 cake pops

Box of Cake Mix- I used Devils Chocolate

Cake pop sticks

Styrofoam or floral ring for your cake pops as they dry

Chocolate Melts– I used light chocolate

A sleeve of Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies

Preheat the oven to 350°F
Bake the cake mix according to the instructions on the box
Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely on a wire cooling rack.
Using a mixer cut up cake pieces and blend until the cake mixture comes together into a ball. The cake should be moist.
Roll dough into small balls using a small and place on wax paper.
Set aside.

For the Thin Mint crumble:

Place a sleeve of Thin Mint cookies in a bowl and muddle/mash until they are grounded up. You can also put them in a food processor and gently pulsate until the cookies are crumbled.

Assembly of cake pops

Place chocolate melts in a microwave-safe bowl. The bowl should be deep enough to submerge the entire ball in the chocolate. Microwave the chocolate in 30-40 second increments, stirring after each heating, until it is melted. Add 1/2 teaspoon of vegetable oil to the melted chocolate for a smoother consistency.
Dip the lollipop stick into the chocolate and then into the middle of a cake ball. This will help the cake pop stay securely on the stick.
Dip the cake ball into the chocolate until it is completely covered. Hold it over the bowl and tap it so the excess chocolate comes off. I gently tap my wrist until all the excess chocolate comes off.
When the excess chocolate has dripped off, place the lollipop stick into the styrofoam block for about 10 seconds.
When the cake pop is still wet, but not too wet, roll the cake pop in the thin mint crumble covering the entire cake pop.
Place the cake pop back in the styrofoam block to completely dry.
Wrap the cake pops or enjoy immediately.
