There are few flavor combinations that are as iconic and beloved as mint and chocolate. Personally, I love how the freshness of mint tampers the sweetness of chocolate, thus making it the perfect treat for my not-so-sweet tooth. And being the purist that I am, this simple combo in an after-dinner mint or an ice cream flavor is pure art.
But the people at Andes believe this is art that can be elevated. Which is why they’ve released Mint Cookie Crunch Thins just in time for the holidays.

Andes brings a dose of nostalgia to any holiday celebration.
Andes chocolate mints are a classic treat, and have likely had a place in your dessert line-up since childhood.
The chocolate mints have also starred in specialty drinks at fast food chains.
Both Arby’s and Jack in the Box have featured milkshakes that use Andes mints as an ingredient, and many people say they’re very similar in flavor to the after-dinner mints served at Olive Garden.
To make the holidays extra special, cookies and cream have been added to the classic mints.
Let me paint a delicious description for you: These thins take Andes’ classic mint-and-dark-chocolate sandwich, and add some cookies and cream crunch to the filling. It’s like an Andes and Oreo hybrid, and OMG I’m salivating.
The added crunch of the specialty thins have made them a cult holiday favorite.
This isn’t the first time Andes has sold the Mint Cookie Crunch Thins and it hasn’t escaped notice. The treats have a high rating on Amazon and many are saying they’ll stock up since they know these are a holiday-specific find. Head to Target or Amazon to get your fix.
You’d be wise to stockpile these treats for the whole year ahead.
After all, who doesn’t want it to feel like Christmas every day?
