I need help. I’m admitting it. 
I have too many recipes!!!! I literally feel like I’m drowning in them. I have come to realize a very puzzling dilemma. The dilemma that I feel like many food bloggers would run into. I print like every recipe.
Then I usually put them into a big old binder. Problem is…that binder got super full. Things were fulling out, and I was leaving trails of recipes. Shockingly, my family doesn’t like that. 
So then I made a second binder. Dedicated to desserts. (that’s a whole other problem..) Now I have even filled both of those binders with recipes I’ve made, posted, or want to make in the future. I don’t know where to put anymore recipes!!!! I feel like I need a filing cabinet or something. Maybe just one of those rentable storage units would do. 
But serious question, do you keep all your recipes? Also, do you print all your recipes? or do you just run back and forth from the computer every time you make something…good way to burn off the calories, I suppose.
By the way, this recipes is delicious. I managed to get 2. Then they mysteriously disappeared…I’ll have to hunt them down.
Mint Cookie Truffles
(adapted from Confessions of a Cookbook Queen)
9 oz. box of Thin Mints (Or mint cookies, I used Andes’)
4 oz. (1/2 block) cream cheese, softened
About 1 1/2 c. chocolate (I like to use dark), melted
Nonpareils, optional
- Crush the mint cookies very thinly. Either the food processor or rolling pin will work just fine.
- Once crushed, pour the crumbs into a large bowl and add cream cheese. Get your hands in there are mix VERY well. You want the mixture to be very dark with no white spots anywhere.
- Roll into small balls and place on parchment paper line baking sheet and refrigerate about 30 minutes.
- Melt chocolate and using a toothpick or fork, dip truffles completely and twirl to allow the excess chocolate to drip off. Place back on baking sheet and sprinkle with nonpareils, if desired. Refrigerate until firm.
Random Fact of the Day: Until 1796, there was a state in the United States called Franklin. Today it is known as Tennessee.

I’ve got so many recipes too. I’m trying to get them out of the way this week… but I keep cooking more. Damnit! These look absolutely divine by the way. I love chocolate and mint.
I have the same problem with recipes! and i got a file box (the big Staples file box) that you would put hang files in and it’s all organized and i love it, love it, love it. it’s so easy and everything is easy to find! (i guess i should do a post about it.. maybe i will this week)
and i love this recipe, i must try it as soon as girl scout cookies come along
Great recipe Casey! I guess we all have the same problem, but you know what? I don’t see anybody complaining when they eat whatever comes out of our mess… so keep printing and cooking!
Now these look fantastic… and they will be going in my growing list of recipes.
As far as my recipes go… I have gotten into the habit of bringing my computer into the kitchen and looking off of it for the recipe. Some day in my perfect organizational world, I will print them off in my binder. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
