Easy No Bake Andes Mint Ritz Cookies!

My Mom told me about this genius idea. Someone she works with brought them in to share with everyone. She told me how easy they were to make and that they taste just like Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies. I just could not understand how that was possible, because they are made with Ritz crackers!

Sure enough, they do in fact taste exactly like Thin Mints!

I like super easy to make treats for the holidays. Not only does it have to be easy, I need to be able to make as small or big batches as I need so it can stretch across the many people I like to gift Christmas treats to every year. And, of course they have to be delicious!
