Number Of Ingredients 12

1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ milk chocolate cake mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
1/2 cup water
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1 jar (7.5 oz) marshmallow creme
1/2 cup crème de menthe
2 cups whipping cream
2 tablespoons sugar
1 package (4.67 oz) thin rectangular crème de menthe chocolate candies, chopped
1 package (8 oz) Oreo mini chocolate creme sandwich cookies, crushed

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 13x9-inch pan with shortening or spray with cooking spray. Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan, using water, oil and eggs. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, pour water into 1-quart saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin over water; let stand 1 minute to soften. Heat over low heat, stirring gently, until gelatin is completely dissolved.
  • In medium bowl, beat marshmallow creme, crème de menthe and gelatin mixture with whisk until well combined. Refrigerate 10 to 15 minutes.
  • In another medium bowl, beat whipping cream and sugar with electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Reserve 1 cup whipped cream; set aside.
  • Gently fold chilled mint mixture into whipped cream.
  • Cut cooled cake into 1-inch cubes. In 10-cup glass trifle bowl, line bottom with cake cubes. Add half of the mint mixture; spread evenly. Top with chopped candies. Add another layer of cake cubes and mint mixture. Top with crushed cookies and reserved whipped cream. Cover; refrigerate at least 2 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
  • Just before serving, garnish with additional candies and mint. Store covered in refrigerator.
