1. But those don't come with

the magic guilt-and-calorie-erasing excuse of helping little girls learn about business!

3. That's true, but

some folks would love those cookies all year round, rather than just for a few weeks in Feb/March

5. And I'm one of them, which I why I've been using all my willpower not to

copy and paste that recipe! ;) Having thin mints in the house 24/7 would be WAY too much temptation.

Fortunately, even if I cave and copy it, I don't see myself being a successful temperer of chocolate, despite the fact that my great-grandmother was a candy-maker.

2. hmm, wondering if you read Hippywife's post about

making the tagalongs.. :D

4. I did read it, and I left her some tips

in case she ever wants to try dipping again.

It can be quite messy and takes practice, but you can make really yummy treats by dipping at home.

6. Samooas is one the most

accurate mispellings I have ever seen! ;->
