1 box Thin Mint cookies (32 cookies)
3 tablespoons melted butter
2 cups cold milk
2 packages (4-serving size each) Jell-O Chocolate Flavor Instant Pudding
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 tub (12 oz.) Cool Whip Whipped Topping, thawed, divided use
Remove 10 cookies and set aside.
Crush or process remaining cookies, then mix them with the butter. Press firmly onto bottom and up side of 9-inch pie plate.
Pour milk into large bowl. Add both boxes of pudding mix and beat with wire whisk 2 minutes or until well blended. (Mixture will be thick.)
Spoon out 1 1/4 cup of pudding into another bowl and stir in peppermint extract. Pour peppermint pudding mixture over crust. To remaining pudding mix, add in 1 cup of whipped topping. Spread the pudding/whipped topping layer of the mint layer.
Chop remaining cookies and combine them with about 2 ½ cups (doesn’t have to be precise) whipped topping. Spread this mixture over the top. The pie might look kind of messy at this point, so clean up the edges.
Chill for 4 hours or until set
To garnish, place remaining whipped topping in a plastic zipper bag. Snip off a corner of the bag (about ½ inch up from corner) and squeeze whipped topping around sides decoratively.
To make thin zig-zags, pour COLD chocolate syrup into a small zipper bag. Snip a very, very tiny cut off the bottom corner and drizzle away!

That looks so good Patti. I love to freeze the thin mints and eat them. Umm I also like the all abouts they go by different names in different areas. They are the shortbread cookie dipped in chocolate on one side.
Mark will love this, he loves thin mints too!
I love your blog Patti. I want to make all of it. I hope you don't mind if I make some of your recipes and post them on my blog :) I want to try the quick and easy casserole first... if I can figure out what a can of spanish rice is! I have never heard of that. Can you just substitute homemade spanish rice?
Hi Patti. I saw your comment on Karen's Korner this morning and read you're from East Texas and you too have the cold damp weather we're having in Corpus Christi this week! I'm ready for the 80 degrees we had just a few days ago.
Oh my gosh, I too have a favorite GS cookie,.....and mint are mine!!! This looks scrumptious but way too fattening and rich for me.
And the biscuits below in the next entry....mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmm!!!!
Irresistible! Looks so yummy!
I like how you used the thin mints here! Definitely better than using oreos (though I am also a fan of those :).
OOO...this looks so good! I will have to try it out when JP's family comes in the next few weeks!
