Ingredients

• 1 box Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies or Keebler
• Grasshopper cookies
• 4 oz. cream cheese, softened, regular, reduced fat or fat-free
• 12 oz. bag Guittard's Green Mint Chips or other green mint candy

Steps

1. Crush cookies in a food processor by pulsing them a few times, and then blend them down until they are just crumbs. Do this in two batches. If you don't have a food processor, put the cookies in a big Ziploc bag and start crushing them with a rolling pin or a large glass until you have fine crumbs.
2. Mix the cream cheese and cookie crumbs together in a bowl until well-mixed. Roll the mixture into 1 inch size balls, and place them on a waxed paper covered baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the fridge for about 30 minutes, so the balls are easier to dip in the chocolate and do not fall apart.
3. Once the truffles have been in the fridge for a while, melt the green mint chips in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave. Heat the chips for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between each heat burst. Repeat until the chips are all melted.
