I was so happy to find some Green M&Ms at Wal-Mart a few weeks back. I was wanting to make some “St. Patrick’s Day Cookies” and knew they would be perfect for my creation! The M&Ms are Mint (and Dark Chocolate), and I couldn’t resist throwing in some crushes Oreos. With those ingredients and my standard “cookie” recipe, I made some Mint M&M Oreo Cookies.
I was quite surprised at how much I loved them. I’m not a huge dark chocolate fan, but the combination of the ingredients made me feel like I was eating Thin Mints!! Yup – the beloved Girl Scout Cookies, but in a softer, not as expensive way.

Found the M&Ms in a smaller bag on the end cap of Wal-Mart. Not sure if they are seasonal, so if you make them and like them I might stock up and get a few bags.
{Can you tell my OCD tendencies with these cookies?? Notice how there aren’t 2 colors of the same green right next to each other, only diagonal from each other? Yeah – OCD!} LOL!
Let me know if you try these out too because they are so stinkin’ good!
Plus, they’re an EASY dessert or treat for St. Patrick’s Day.
ENJOY!
Oh man! That looks good! That combination would be good in a brownie too!

A brownie version is a grand idea!! May just have to try it out. Thanks!!! Have a great day!
I was totally bummin’ yesterday because I didn’t buy any Girl Scout cookies and they were being to delivered to everyone at work. I seriously considered raiding the office for left over Thin Mints. So I am all about making these tonight! Thanks for sharing!!
Hi Jill! Thanks for the sweet comment. Did you end up making these? Dying to know what you thought….
OK, such a freaky coincidence.! I bought the exact ingredients to try out the very same thing. (Well except I can’t find the dark mint M&M’s, only regular mint.). Great minds really do think alike my friend! At least now I don’t have to wonder if they taste good since you already tried them for me. LOL!

That is so funny, Kara! Great minds really do think alike. I actually had no intentions of adding the oreos and then found myself crushing them and throwing them in just because I had a package sitting on the counter. You still need to make them and post them! I’m sure our cookie recipe is different which means yours will probably turn out better.
My hubby would die for these! Yummo!!

You may also. They are so delish – and easy!!!
I call it perfectionism – not OCD! They look amazing. TFS!

LOL! That’s right – perfectionism… not OCD. Okay, maybe just a little OCD.
Oh stop it. Stop it right now. You’re ruining my diet!! I’m loving all of your fun St. Patty’s day posts! I need to get on the ball!
These have been pinned!!

LOL!!! I wonder why I can’t lose my baby weight and then I look at all the fun things I want to bake and I know why!!
These cookies look yummy! Love the mint twist. Thanks for sharing
You’re welcome! Thanks for coming to check them out. They are so simple, tasty and festive. Let me know if you try them and if you like them.
Ok this may be a stupid question but…. you crush just the cookie part of the Oreo and not the creme filling, right?!? Thx
))
Not a dumb question at all! You will crush the whole cookie – creme and all! I use oreos in a lot of what I do and I always leave the filling in (even if it calls for it without) because that’s the best part!!
What a genius idea! I am definitely going to try these out!!!
I’m warning you Dezi – they were pretty good!!
Oh crap this isn’t fair. They don’t have a mint M&Ms in Italy!
Zinedine recently posted..I hate my work!
Dang!! You may have to order some online.
I didn’t think I’d like them as much with them being dark chocolate, but they were DELISH! 
I’m hoping I can still find these mint m&m’s I want to make these for our local blogger meetup this Friday, looks delish!
