This did not go over very well when I made it for a church dinner. The peppermint extract gave it a fake, sort of processed taste.

It was very tasty and everyone loved it. My chocolate pieces sank to the bottom of the cake but it was still very good.

This cake is awesome! Very moist and tasty. I needed more than 20 mints for the frosting...I plan to make this again

This was very easy and very minty! My co-workers loved it as well as my family. Next time I'll use more than 20 mints in order to make a thicker covering over the cake. When the mints dried on top of the cake they tasted like an instant ice cream shell covering. Mmmmm!!

This was a big hit at work. I had to give co-workers copies of recipe. This would also work for easter! After you melt mint patties and spread on cake/sprinkle (colored) coconut flakes on top/let cool then add your favorite easter candies to the top! For a less minty taste, just omit the peppermint extract!
