You see those little pieces of chocolate in the baby bundt above? Those aren’t chocolate chips. They’re pieces of Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies.

Yes. You read that right. These baby bundt cakes are infused with cookies. You see, someone thought it would be okay for me to buy 4 boxes of Girl Scout cookies this year. Rather than just sit and eat cookies by the sleeve, I decided I would take these February treasures and create some sort of baked goods that I could then pawn off onto my family members. That’s how I came up with these decadent cakes.

Although they could use a little work (like the chocolate glaze I spent an hour trying to make happen), these will always be important to me. Why you ask? Because this is the first recipe I have ever made from complete scratch. I didn’t look at anybody else’s recipe and try to adapt it into my own. I just went for what I thought would be delicious.

And oh how it was.
