Girl Scout Mint Cookies

[MomofPirate&Mickey]

For Jen....

Girl Scout Mint Cookies
1 box Devil's Food Cake Mix
2 Eggs
2 Tbl. Water
2 Tbl. Cooking Oil
1/2 Cup Cocoa
1 pkg. Chocolate Chips
2−3 drops Wilton's Candy Mint Flavoring
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine cake mix, eggs, water, cooking oil,
and cocoa. You will need to blend this together well, this will be a
very sticky mess. Let stand for 20 minutes, and then shape into very
small 1/2 inch balls. Place these balls on a cookie sheet 2 inches a part,
and smash down flat. You will need to spray a large spoon with Pam to
make them flat. Bake for about 8 minutes. Let cool until they reach
room temperature.
Heat chocolate chips in either the microwave, or in a double boiler.
When completely melted add a couple drops of the mint flavoring.
Be carefull not to add too much, it is a powerfull flavoring.
You can either spread the melted chocolate on the cookies,
or you can dip the cookies into the chocolate.

Try peppermint extract by the spices. I use it in my recipe for mint brownies that are really good.

Mint Brownies

Layer 1

1 21.5 oz box brownie mix - I use Pillsbury
Combine as on box and bake only 25 minutes. Cool

Layer 2
1/2 cup=1 stick butter, softened, not melted
2 cups powdered sugar
2 TBLS milk
3 drops green food coloring
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
Combine and spread over cooled brownies and refrigerate about 1 hour. (I usually put it into the freezer for about 15 minutes, while I make the 3rd layer.)

Layer 3
1/2 cup=1 stick butter
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Melt butter and add chocolate chips over low heat. When completely melted pour over layer 2 and refrigerate until set.

Once set you do not have to keep it refrigerated.

Now this is what I call roughing it and the poor life of camping. These are to die for recipes. :banana:

I'm going to surprize the family with these. First it will surprize them that I'm actually baking and then it will surprize them that I'm surprizing them. ;)

[bigdisneydaddy]

When do you add in the "girl scout" ?????? :confused3

I think thats false advertising...... Like peanut butter cookies without peanut butter, its just misleading :thumbsup2

[AuburnJen92]

Just eat them right out of the fire. Mmmmmmmm good. Actually, insects have a lot of protein in them -- great survival food and they're very tasty too!

[BigDaddyRog]

Are bugs REALLY tasty?? Ive never eaten one....that I can remember. Chicken is tasty, do bugs taste like chicken? Timon & Pumba say they are slimey, yet satisfying!! But the tasty part may have been edited out!!

[AuburnJen92]

[BigDaddyRog]

Um...yeah...you were weird!!! ;)

[neffernie]

If only my DD felt the same way. :rotfl2: I think Mom embarasses her. ;)

[BigDaddyRog]

If you're gonna eat grasshoppers, take off the wings and the legs - you can't digest them and they can block your intestinal tract. They were always a fav of mine, along with those big black ants - crunchy, a little smokey, kind of like popcorn with a kick.

The places I was (you too) I usually had the opposite problem - I take off the wings but not the legs. I like grubs too especially if you can have a fire and cook 'em. They really fry up good and really do taste a little like pork. Termites too, especially the really big ones in the jungle - just like nuts!

[ftwildernessguy]

Yeah, grubs are good. Slugs will do in a pinch, but I used to soak them in a little salt water first - takes some of the slime and sludge out of them.

It has a mind of its own.

[neffernie]

Regardless of what bugs I may have eaten as a child, this is the only grasshopper I plan on consuming any time soon.

Grasshopper
.5 oz. Green Creme de Menthe
.5 oz. White Creme de Menthe
.5 oz. Cream
Put the ingredients into a blender with a glassful of ice and blend until smooth. Serve in a margarita glass (if you have one), a cocktail glass, or a tumbler.
