Jonathan would have you to believe that I am a great cook. True, we do not go hungry, but sometimes I have really bad ideas. Since I had a particularly bad idea this week, I thought I’d share it with you. Let me preface by saying I work for an accounting firm that is amazing in many ways, not the least of which is the snack cabinet. On Tuesday afternoon I felt the need for a little pick me up and I thought, “Mmm, you know what sounds good? A mint mocha!” Having no compulsion to pay for such a thing when all the ingredients were at hand, I set to work. Here’s the recipe:
1/2 Tablespoon sketchy non-dairy could last forever creamer
1 packet Swiss Miss cocoa power
8 ounces brewed coffee
3 Junior mints
Mix them together! What do you get? Sludge and ruined coffee and wasted Junior Mints.
I happened to have my camera, so in case you needed a visual:
Please, save your Junior Mints and just eat them separately.
We have had success with a few new recipes lately and when we’re done eating, we’ll post the photo and info on those too!
Haha. That’s fun… and a little funny. Thanks for the tip! I will continue to savor my Junoir Mints individually.
Maybe next time you could try to squeeze the creamy mint filling out of the Junior Mints to prevent the chocolate coating from melting into sludge. Or maybe that’s too much work.
I love you, and this post. I have made some pretty undrinkable concoctions with the beverages and additives available in the Microsoft kitchenettes, but yours really takes the cake!

I’ve done almost the exact same thing, with the exact same motivation. It was coffee, and some mint chocolates … no cocoa powder.
And just like yours, mine ended up being sludge, and ruined good coffee.
