I succumbed to the Christmas candy on clearance section of the local drugstore. Among my, ahem, "few" purchases, were a box of Andes Peppermint Crunch Thins. As you can see from the photo, the packaging was barely salvageable for documentation purposes. :) I found the following quick and easy recipe for throwing together some cookies cake mix and the Andes candies. The original recipe used traditional Andes mints, but I think it worked well with the peppermint ones too.
Andes Peppermint Crunch Cakies
1 Devil's Food Cake Mix
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
1 package of Andes Mints
Mix cake mix, oil, and eggs together. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 6-9 minutes. Don't cook any longer than that! You don't want them to be overdone!
Take sheet out of oven and while the cookies are still very hot, place an Andes Mint on top of each cookie. In about 5 minutes, the mint will be melted. Take a spoon and smooth out each mint like frosting.
