Instead, you&#8217;re getting a less pronounced flavor.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike previous varieties, this one comes with either the chocolate or vanilla Frosty base and then a rich, minty cookie crumble sauce inspired by the popular Girl Scout Cookie is swirled and topped on the treat. It&#8217;s not blended together, so unless you do some mixing on your own, expect spoonfuls of just the icy and creamy base as you eat your way through the cup. That&#8217;s not the worst thing in the world, especially if you have fries to dip into them.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/wendysfrosty2.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-large wp-image-68148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/wendysfrosty2.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/wendysfrosty2.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/wendysfrosty2.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/wendysfrosty2.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/wendysfrosty2.jpeg?resize=60%2C60&amp;ssl=1 60w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/wendysfrosty2.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you sample just the sauce, the Thin Mints flavor is mainlined to your taste buds. It has a grittiness comparable to the iciness of the Frosty base. There&#8217;s a hint of crunchiness in those cookie specks and a minty chocolate flavor in the dark sauce that brings Thin Mints to mind. However, when scooped with the vanilla or chocolate Frosty base, the sauce&#8217;s taste gets, um, thin. This flavor dilution happens more with the Chocolate Frosty base than with the Vanilla one.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/wendysfrosty3.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-large wp-image-68149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/wendysfrosty3.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/wendysfrosty3.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/wendysfrosty3.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/wendysfrosty3.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/wendysfrosty3.jpeg?resize=60%2C60&amp;ssl=1 60w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/wendysfrosty3.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The chocolate mint sauce makes these treats look enticing, but I wish it was mixed throughout the base to give it that mint chocolate oomph that we all know and love from the cookies.<\/p>\n<p>While I found them to be a little disappointing, I enjoyed these Thin Mints Frosty varieties. However, I won&#8217;t scream and shout from the mountaintops about them. Heck, I don&#8217;t even think it&#8217;s something you should rush out the door for right at this moment. Instead, I think you should wait, order a pack (or a dozen) of Thin Mints from your friendly neighborhood Girl Scout Troop and use them to scoop up these Frosty flavors from the cup or crush the cookies and sprinkle them over the top to give your taste buds more than a hint of Thin Mints.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $4.49 each<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> Small<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 6 out of 10 (Vanilla), 6 out of 10 (Chocolate)<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> <strong>Vanilla<\/strong> &#8211; 490 calories, 22 grams of fat, 8 grams of saturated fat, 35 milligrams of cholesterol, 270 milligrams of sodium, 64 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 53 grams of sugar, and 10 grams of protein. <strong>Chocolate<\/strong> &#8211; 490 calories, 22 grams of fat, 8 grams of saturated fat, 30 milligrams of cholesterol, 270 milligrams of sodium, 64 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 51 grams of sugar, and 10 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I liken the new Wendy&#8217;s Thin Mints Frosty to the Tostitos &#8220;Hint of&#8221; line of tortilla chips.
