Ingredients
13.25ouncesBetty Crocker Devil’s Food Cake Mix
10ouncesSparkling Water
21York Peppermint Patties
4 ouncesCool Whip
1teaspoonPeppermint Extract
Optional: Green Food Coloring
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine Cake Mix and Sparking Water, and mix well.
Spoon into paper-lined cupcake tins until 2/3 full.
Unwrap peppermint patties and add on top of each cupcake.
Bake for 18-22 minutes (following package directions).
Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
In a separate bowl, combine cool whip, peppermint extract, and optional: conservative amount of green food coloring (we’re not making green eggs and ham, people). You can slowly add more coloring if you’d like. I used Wilton’s icing coloring.
Add peppermint to taste.
Once well mixed, use a knife or piping bag to pipe/spread icing onto cupcakes. The peppermint patty will have deflated somewhat, so be sure to fill in the leftover crater with mint icing before making it pretty!
