We buy Girl Scout cookies every year and we always have leftover cookies. So what do you make with the leftover cookies? These Thin Mint Chewy Fudge Brownies are just the ticket!

 Chewy Fudge Thin Mint Brownie Recipe

My husbands favorite Girl Scout cookie is the Thin Mints variety. I am more of a Samoas kind of girl but this brownie recipe is a rich and decadent milk chocolate brownie which I think complements the Thin Mints cookies to perfection. The key to being able to cut these brownies into squares is to chill the dessert in the refrigerator over night. That is how chewy these brownies are. Yum!

This really is the most decadent and chewy brownie recipe I have made. I love how chewy the brownie is in relation to the crisp cookie pieces. It really is a delicious recipe. If you did not have Thin Mints cookies you can easily substitute another hard cookie into the recipe.

Have a look at a few of my other brownie recipes like this marshmallow brownie or this caramel brownie recipe.

Happy Baking!
