Hyvee Thin Mints
They're so close they're the same. They taste the same but are slightly thinner physically.
You can find them at Hyvee!
Okay, so you've probably heard the buzz, but let me spill the tea on these Hy-Vee Thin Mint dupes. I was a die-hard Girl Scout Thin Mints fan – who isn't, right? But finding them can be a seasonal struggle, and sometimes you just crave that perfect minty chocolate goodness. That's where the Crav'n Flavor Fudgy Covered Cookies Mint from Hy-Vee come in, and let me tell you, they are a game-changer! When I first heard about them, I was skeptical. Could anything truly compare to the iconic Girl Scout Thin Mints cookies? I mean, those crispy chocolate wafers dipped in that signature mint chocolaty coating are legendary. But after trying the Crav'n Flavor version, I was genuinely shocked. The original article mentioned they're "so close they're the same," and I couldn't agree more. The mint flavor is spot-on – not too overpowering, not too subtle. It's perfectly balanced with the rich chocolate coating. One of the key differences I noticed, which was also highlighted, is that the Crav'n Flavor cookies are slightly thinner. Honestly, for me, this is a plus! It gives them a delicate crispness that makes them even more addictive. The texture is fantastic; they have that satisfying crunch you expect. And let's talk about value: the Girl Scout Thin Mints typically come in a NET WT 9 OZ (255g) box, while the Crav'n Flavor package boasts 10 OZ (283g) for often a lower price point. More cookies for your buck? Yes, please! So, "do people like them"? From my experience and what I've heard from others, the answer is a resounding YES! These cookies are a hit because they deliver that beloved Thin Mint taste and texture without the seasonal wait or the higher price tag. They're consistently available at Hy-Vee, which is a huge win for anyone with year-round cravings. Beyond just eating them straight from the package (which, let's be real, is often how they disappear), I've found these Crav'n Flavor mint cookies are incredibly versatile. Pop a bag in the freezer for an hour or two – trust me, a frozen mint cookie is a revelation! They also make an amazing crust for a no-bake mint cheesecake or crushed on top of a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I even tried crumbling them into my morning yogurt for a little treat, and it was surprisingly good. These aren't just a substitute; they're a fantastic cookie in their own right, offering that classic mint-chocolate indulgence whenever you want it. If you're looking for an affordable, delicious, and readily available alternative to Thin Mints, run, don't walk, to Hy-Vee and grab a package of these. You won't regret it!
