Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and grease a 9×13 inch cake pan.

Add the cake mix, water, oil, eggs, and peppermint extract to a large bowl and using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Fold in ¾ cup of chopped Andes mints, and pour into the pan.

Bake for 28-33 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Remove the cake from the oven, and allow it to cool for 1 hour.

Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes into the cake, about 1 inch apart.

Add pudding mix and milk to a bowl and beat with a whisk for 2 minutes. Pour over the cake, and spread across the entire cake, it will seep into the holes, and leave a pudding layer on top as well.

Add food coloring to the tub of whipped topping and stir until a solid color forms. Spread over cake.

Refrigerate cake for 2 hours to allow it to completely set.

Serve and enjoy.

Refrigerate any leftovers.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Chill Your Pudding Mixture 🧊
Refrigerate the instant pudding mixture for at least 30 minutes before layering to ensure it sets properly and creates distinct, creamy layers that won't collapse.
Crush Andes Mints Strategically 💚
Reserve some whole Andes mints for garnish and crush others finely to fold into the pudding layer for concentrated mint flavor bursts throughout the cake.
Add Peppermint Extract at the Right Time ⏱️
Stir peppermint extract into the pudding mixture rather than the batter to prevent flavor loss during baking and ensure maximum mint intensity in every bite.
Achieve Perfect Cake Moisture 💧
Pierce the cooled cake layer with a fork before adding pudding to create tiny channels that allow the creamy filling to absorb evenly and keep the cake moist without sogginess.
Stabilize Your Whipped Topping 🎯
Add 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar and a pinch of vanilla to store-bought whipped topping to enhance stability and prevent it from separating or deflating over time.
