\"Keebler<\/p>\n

I know what you\u2019re thinking. <\/p>\n

Thin Mints.<\/p>\n

When chocolate and mint come together these days, the inevitable comparison is to those bewitching Girl Scout goodies. But my first impression of Fudge Stripes Dark Chocolate Mint cookies was something a little closer to my own \u201880s heart. Andes candies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Keebler<\/p>\n

I have memories of my parents putting Andes out in crystal bowls when they had company over, but I\u2019m not sure if that was real life or an Andes commercial that I dreamed my family into. In either case, I had the distinct impression that these were sophisticated adult treats that I was lucky to get my grubby paws on. I wouldn\u2019t taste Thin Mints until near middle-age and still have not partaken in a Shamrock Shake, so those tiny slabs are my mint touchstone.<\/p>\n

After the disappointment of <\/a>Strawberry Cheesecake Fudge Stripes, I was a little leery when I opened this package. My deep inhale was met by the cool minty aromatic embrace of Andes. \u201cCome in,\u201d they purred. \u201cRemember us?\u201d It\u2019s summer, so the light green frosting stripes smeared on my fingers while trying to separate the cookies. <\/p>\n

\"Keebler<\/p>\n

I took a bite and YES \u2013 FUDGE STRIPES ARE BACK ON THEIR GAME!<\/p>\n

The mint was a bright, refreshing flavor and sensation \u2013 there was a tiny kick of cool menthol there. The chocolate was a perfect companion, grounding the mint, but not competing against it. This was an Andes candies cookie and I loved it!<\/p>\n

\"Keebler<\/p>\n

My one (minuscule and easily dismissible) criticism is that while billed as dark chocolate, the cookie base didn\u2019t read as such to me. It was like Oreos or the Fudge Stripes Cookies & Creme variation \u2013 a rich dark color, but not the bitter bite of dark chocolate. That being said, it was still delicious, so I\u2019ll hold my thumb over the word \u201cdark\u201d on the package and happily chow down. <\/p>\n

\"Keebler<\/p>\n

These belong on the \u201cshould be a permanent Fudge Stripes release\u201d shelf with Cinnamon Roll, Lemon Cream Pie, and Birthday Cake. <\/p>\n

I had the urge to repurpose these and decided on a Stripe-S\u2019Mallow-Mint Sandwich. Two cookies, one marshmallow, a few seconds in the microwave and I had a gooey decadent summer dessert. <\/p>\n

\"Keebler<\/p>\n

I made mine with jumbo marshmallows, but they were too big and I had a bit of a blowout. Take 2 (pictured) was half a jumbo. A regular \u2018mallow would have been perfect. <\/p>\n
