And we have a variety of other toys: tug-o-wars, balls, squeaky, rattle, crinkly, soft, hard, varying colors. She only does it during the day whenever we're not around. Seriously, we leave her for 5 minutes and something is destroyed.
I don't know what to do with her.

Sounds like it's related to her being left alone, could that be? In that case maybe get her used to being alone for longer periods of time by increasing the time intervals that you're gone might help.
Also, does she get enough activity? Does she play with her toys? I've seen multiple dogs that did much better with the destroying things part when they were active enough before their owner leaving, like if they went jogging before, something like that.
