Over the holidays, I bought a Costco size box of York Mini Peppermint Patties. I used lots of them and we ate a lot of them, but I still had quite a few left.
I decided to experiment with them with a chocolate cake mix and I’m happy with the way it turned out.
Valentine’s Day Peppermint Patty Cake
I used a devil’s food cake mix as the base. To make a cake mix taste better, substitute the oil with butter and the water with milk.
After removing the wrappers from the mini peppermint patties, I chopped them into smaller pieces. Each patty was cut into four pieces. Use a mixing spoon to incorporated them into the cake batter.
Prepare a springform pan and pour batter into the pan. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. See the recipe card below for complete recipe.
Allow the cake to cool completely and open the springform pan latches. Transfer the cake onto a cake stand. Use a tub of frosting or make your own cream cheese frosting.
Press heart shaped cookie cutters into the frosting.
I used an assortment of Valentine’s Day sprinkles to fill the heart shapes and then sprinkled more over the top of the cake.
Once enough sprinkles are on top, carefully remove the cutters.
