Recipe from Confessions of a Cookbook Queen
INGREDIENTS
9 oz box of Thin Mints
4 oz (1/2 block) cream cheese, softened
Dark chocolate almond bark or dark chocolate candy melts
Nonpareils
Crush the Thin Mints very finely. You can do this by placing them in a large Ziploc bag and rolling them with a rolling pin, or use your food processor, which is what I did.
Once they are crushed, pour them in a large bowl and add the cream cheese. I would like to say that you can just mix it up with a wooden spoon, but if you want to do things properly you are going to have to get your hands involved. Squish them up real good until it’s thoroughly combined and the cream cheese is no longer visible.

Roll into 1 inch balls, place on a wax paper lined baking sheet, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
Melt almond bark or candy melts and using a toothpick, dip truffles completely and twirl to allow the excess to drip off. Place back on lined baking sheet and sprinkle with nonpareils before set. Refrigerate until firm.
*Makes about 24 truffles.

Lindsay's notes: mine didn't quite make 24 truffles, but I think I made them bigger than 1 inch balls. Also, Walmart's knock off thin mints are a 10 oz box, where as GS Thin Mints are 9 oz. I didn't add any more cream cheese, but next time I'd add just a little bit more. Some of the truffles were a little bit more dry and crumbled when I dipped them in the candy melts.
This is Walmart's version of Thin Mints:
