It's "Chocolate Mint Insanity!"

Have you ever had a Mystic Mint cookie? I'm really sorry if you haven't. Nabisco used to make them and for some reason, at our Publix, they were always on the top shelf. At first, they always had them, then they became seasonal, and now they're flat out discontinued. Oh they were so good! My father and I especially loved them frozen.
For whatever reason, as I was filling an order for homemade "oreos", I felt compelled to tweak the recipe and make them "Mystic Mint"-style.

I added a little peppermint extract to the cream. I then made a chocolate glaze which I also added peppermint to. It's just one of those things you
have no idea will work or not, but you just have to do it. I popped those bad boys into the freezer for full effect.

Luckily for me, and Mystic Mint fans everywhere, they did work out. Deliciously.
I offered one to Julie my neighbor for taste-testing and she recommended the name, "Chocolate Mint Insanity", which I kinda like. I wish my Dad was there to try them out, too. He's got final say.
