Not many things can beat Thin Mints, but this Thin Mint Poke Cake has a layer of hot fudge sauce and whipped topping so yeah… It’s pretty safe to say this tops just having the cookies!! St. Patrick’s Day is coming up so it’s time to bust out all the minty recipes!
The secret to this cake is the fudge layer… oh my. When the sweetened condensed milk and fudge sink into this cake it really is magical. It really is the dreamiest thing. I based this recipe off of one from my sweet friend Ashton! She used some mint packet thing though… and I didn’t really know what that was so I decided to use a little bit of peppermint extract because I had that on hand…and figured it would be easier for you to find at the store!
One of my favorite things about this poke cake is that every slice looks picture perfect! I only had to take out one slice of cake to photograph and it was absolutely gorgeous! Sometimes I go to a party and the pieces of cake that come out from the pans look like slop. They may still taste alright but there’s something that makes a cake taste better when it looks good.
The Girl Scouts would be proud. So turn that oven on and earn that baking badge!
Luckily my sweet friend Janae over at The Hungry Runner Girl took this cake away from me, or else I totally would have sat and that dived into the whole thing with a fork!!
