RELATED: Fun and Frothy Peppermint Hot Chocolate

Ingredients:

  • 1 Recipe of your favorite chocolate cake--baked and cooled
  • 1 large box of chocolate pudding (+milk)--prepared according to package directions (wait for cake to cool before you prepare the pudding)
  • 1 large tub of whipped topping
  • ½ - 1 pkg Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips
  • 5 peppermint Candy Canes--crushed

Directions:

Cut cooled cake into cubes.  Cover the bottom of your bowl with cake pieces.  Top with ½ of the pudding.  Top with up to ½ of the whipped topping.  Sprinkle with candy cane and Andes peppermint bits (up to ½ of the mix--depending on how minty you like it).  Repeat the layers.

Enjoy!

*You can easily use only Andes or only candy canes.  Both are equally yummy!

Whether you need dessert for your Christmas party or dessert for one or two, this recipe has you covered.  You can make a full recipe or just a small one.  It can be layered in almost anything!   . . .  a giant mug . . . a mason jar . . .

    OMG that trifle! You are a temptress! What if you made it with brownies instead of cake? Would that be too sinful? Thanks for hosting. Have a great week!
