Grasshoppers, Thin Mints, Peppermint Patties…whatever you call it…it’s that chocolate-mint combination that was just meant to be together. And with a little green frosting, it’s perfect for your St. Patrick’s Day.
Shopping List
1 box of chocolate cake mix
2 small boxes of instant chocolate pudding
1/2 cup of veggie oil
1 1/4 cups water
4 eggs
2 teaspoons peppermint extract
1 can vanilla frosting
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Grease (I use Pam) a 10 inch bundt pan or 12 mini bundt pans.
In mixing bowl, combine cake mix, puddings, oil, water and eggs with an electric mixer. Mix in peppermint extract. Pour into prepared bundt pan.
Bake 40-45 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean for a large bundt cake or 16 to 18 minutes for mini cakes.
Let cake rest on counter in pan 10 minutes. Then, invert cake onto serving plate to finish cooling.
Add a few drops of green food coloring to your vanilla frosting (you could even add another teaspoon of extract if you really wanted your cake minty).
Frost your cake(s) with your green frosting, serve and enjoy.
My little grasshopper.
I heart chocolate and mint…and St. Patrick’s Day.

Where would one find Mint M&Ms? I've only ever seen the Christmas ones.
Mix and Match Mama says
I find mint M&Ms this time of year at Walmart, Target and my local grocery store. They're with the seasonal candy.

Made these little yummiest for St. party's day and they were a hit! I used sugar free pudding because I am diabetic and they still turned out great! Shared with friends and neighbors because I am afraid I will eat them all! Thanks for a great recipe, my first bundt cake….but not my last….excited to see Sean on DWTS…

I've been searching through your archives looking for something fun and festive to make for St. Patty's day and I want to make them all. Lol. But I'm thinking I might just make these as mini bundt cakes. BTW, do you have an Irish soda bread recipe that you love? Thanks so much! You're the best!
