I was surprised at how much the striped cookies actually do resemble Thin Mints in terms of taste and texture, if not appearance. I wasn’t sure there would be any left at my store because they’d already been out on shelves for several weeks, but my store still had plenty. I finally caved and added the new cookies to my shopping list to see what all the hype was about. They are marketed as an Aldi Find (Special Buy), which means stores usually only get one shipment, and once they sell out, that’s it, and you can’t order them online after they’re gone from your local stores. The recent cookies are described on the package as shortbread, while the Thin Mints/Girl Scout knockoffs were just described as cookies.Īlso important: while the old Benton’s Fudge Mint Cookies used to be available all year, the new mint striped fudge cookies are only around for a short time.
The recent cookies are covered with light green rather than dark brown fudge.The most recent cookies are striped on top instead of completely covered with frosting/fudge/icing.It’s important to note that Aldi did not actually bring the knockoff Thin Mints back, because these new mint striped fudge cookies have some key differences, including: (You can also get your generic Thin Mint fix at Dollar Tree.) Aldi also used to sell knockoff Thin Mints called Benton’s Fudge Mint Cookies, but sometime in 2019 they stopped carrying them, much to fans’ disappointment. For reference, Aldi sells several types of Girl Scout cookie knockoffs all year, including ones that are dead ringers for Tagalongs and Samoas. I’ve been trying to limit my consumption of sugary foods after indulging during the Christmas season, so I passed them by during my shopping trips during late February and through mid-March.īut then several readers began telling us how excited they are about the mint striped fudge cookies at Aldi because they are so similar to the imitation Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies Aldi used to sell.
I didn’t plan to buy any of the green-tinted sweet goodies. Paddy’s Day products like green-iced cupcakes and cookies and Irish cream cheesecake. They showed up in the weekly ad among other St. Patrick’s Day this year, Aldi advertised some limited-edition mint striped fudge cookies in a green package.
