One of the best birthday gifts I was ever given was a box of Thin Mints! Throw the cookies and melted butter into a food processor and pulverize (or, if you have some aggressions or energy to expend, you can crush them in a large Ziploc bag.) Pour into a pie pan and press into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. The pastel-colored pie is associated with springtime, and especially with Easter celebrations in the United States.
