And y’all know about my passion for all things Oreos. Now, I’ve not been bowled over by all the crazy Oreo flavors they’ve launched recently. That is, until, I met the Oreo Thins. I’ll admit, I love the Oreo cream so I was fully prepared to hate the Thins. But there’s something about the crispy crunch they have that I just love.
Then they launched the Mint Oreo Thins. Sweet gracious, these things are incredible.
Often times at the holidays, we’ll do chocolate dipped Oreos as easy sweet treats to give and to have on hand for gatherings. So, planning our annual Christmas candy making, I got to thinking about dipping those delicious little Oreo Thins in chocolate. Then I got to thinking about the mint ones. Y’all. Y’all! These babies taste just like a Thin Mint. Just. Like. Them.
They’re so easy, only require two ingredients, and everyone in my family went bonkers over them. If you’re looking for something simple to add to your cookie platter this year, I’ve got you covered right here. Y’all enjoy!

Shortcut Thin Mints
Ingredients
- 1 (10.1-ounce) package Mint Flavor Oreo Thins

Instructions
- Melt the almond bark according to the package directions. Dip the Oreo Thins in the chocolate to coat them. Use a fork to retrieve them and tap off the excess chocolate on the side of the bowl. Place them on wax paper to cool. Once cooled and hardened, remove them from the wax paper and store in an airtight container.

When I have too much almond bark melted, I throw in roasted peanuts or almonds- whatever I have. Then scoop them out by the teaspoonful to the wax paper.
This is a great idea!

Stacey, I just now found your recipe on Pinterest and made them today. I only had the Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Melting Wafers and used them. I also sprinkled crushed up hard peppermint candies on top to make them festive for Christmas. They are so easy to make and absolutely decadent! Thanks, Stacey! I love your recipes!
Thank you so much, Naomi! I’m so glad they turned out great for you! Merry Christmas!

My family loves these too. However when I cat find the minty Oreos I melt either mint chocolate chips or plain chocolate chips and add mint extract to taste. Then dip Single Ritz crackers coating completely and place on wax or parchment paper til set. SO yummy and SO quick n easy.
Yum!

Please excuse my ignorance, but where would I find chocolate-flavoured almond bark?
Most grocery stores and big box stores have it in the baking section.

Hi Stacey!
Do you think I could melt 2 packages of the Nestles milk chocolate morsels and dip the cookies in them? Thanks and Merry Christmas! Judy
Sure. It won’t have quite the finish and “snap” of the bark, but will work just fine. You just might find that refrigerating them will make them firmer.

What a great Christmas treat that can be made in bulk. I made thin mints and Samoa cookies a couple of years back as homemade gifts for my family and wish I had this hack then

Yes! It makes it SO easy! 🙂

Stacey, I love, love, love the the minties that the Girl Guides (Canadian version of Girl Scouts) hock/hawk, so will definitely have to make these. Thanks for all the good stuff, and a Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thanks, Phyllis! Merry Christmas!

I hear that, friend!

Well Stacey, I love your website and your content but I must say I have never seen a Girl Scout hocking cookies. In fact the pawn shops where I live do not allow the hocking (pawning) of edibles. I do have a friend whose daughter hawks girl scout cookies periodically. God bless us everyone.
Goodness. It sure must be nice being perfect, Ronald.

It’s a curse. I didn’t mean to be a jerk. I thought I was being (mildly) amusing. I make similar mistakes all the time. Please accept my apology.

Ronald, I caught the mildly amusing joke! Thanks for the chuckle.

I think it’s good to learn in a fun way. English is tricky. Think about break & brake. Just yesterday my husband asked me how to spell “fir” tree! Blessings to All

These look yummy! I will be making them for Christmas. I also wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your blog. My family loved the Sweet Corn Johnny Bread that I made last year, so I will be making it again this year for our Christmas dinner.
Thanks so much, Dena! So glad you enjoyed the dish!
