Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (15.25 oz.) Box Traditional Chocolate Cake Mix
1 Cup Water
3 Eggs
1/3 Cup Vegetable Oil
1/4 Cup Butter, softened + 1 Tablespoon Butter
1 Cup + 1/2 Cup Andes Chocolate Crème De Menthe Pieces
1 & 1/2 Cups Powdered Sugar
1 (8 oz.) Package Cream Cheese, softened
1/3 Cup Half and Half
2 Teaspoons Green Food Coloring
2 Teaspoons Mint Extract

Steps:

Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 Degrees. 2. Spray a 9 x 13 cake pan with nonstick baking spray set aside. 3. Melt 1 Tablespoon Butter in the microwave, then pour it into a large bowl and add the Cake Mix, Water, Eggs and Oil. Mix on low speed for 1 minute, then mix on high for 2 more minutes. 4. Stir in 1 Cup of the Andes Chocolate Crème De Menthe Pieces into the batter, then pour the batter into the prepared pan. 5. Bake for 34-38 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. All ovens cook differently so check the Cake at 20 minutes. 6. While Cake is cooling, you can prepare the frosting. 7. In a large bowl beat together the Cream Cheese and 1/4 Cup Butter until fluffy. Add the Mint Extract and mix an additional 30 seconds. 8. Add the Half & Half and the Powdered Sugar to the Cream Cheese mixture. Mix until well combined and the Frosting is smooth. 9. Lastly, beat in the Food Coloring until the Frosting is uniform in color. 10. Frost the completely cooled Cake using a Frosting spatula, then sprinkle 1/2 Cup Andes Chocolate Crème De Menthe Pieces on top. Recipe by: Hot Dish Homemaker
