With its pretty pink layer and fabulous mint flavor, this is a great holiday dessert. Because I work full-time, I like the fact that it calls for a convenient cake mix. —Lisa Varner, Charleston, South Carolina

This is so yummy! It was a huge hit at my boyfriend's family's house during Christmas time that they requested me to make it again next holiday. And since I told my coworkers about it, now they, too, are requesting me to make it simply just because it sounds good! Easy to make if you're not a baking-guru, or you need something simple and cute to the eye!

I made this for a Christmas potluck party. It was a HUGH success with requests for the recipe. The peppermint pieces in the "ribbon" won't stick to the pan if the candy is crushed to a powder. I used a sugarfree

cake mix available in our grocery stores since many at the party were diabetics.

I made this for Christmas this year. I'm not a huge peppermint fan, but this is NOT overbearing at all. Presentation is great, and taste is great. This may become a regular at our Christmas meals now.

This recipe was very tasty, however, I don't know how anyone was able to get it out of the pan. I made it twice and both times, the crushed candies that were added to the batter, melted to the bottom of the pan and stuck there.

Delicious! A pretty addition to Christmas dessert table.

Far better than expected. I used peppermint chips for baking instead of crushed peppermints and left out the peppermint extract and it was very good.

My cake came out fantastic! Did not fall apart when taking out of pan. I did make my peppermint pieces much smaller and would make them even smaller next time. Love the peppermint.
