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

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.
