Expert Tips

To keep candies from sticking together as you cut them, sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar over the cutting board. As you cut the candies, toss them with the sugar.

Vanilla or chocolate instant pudding and pie filling mix can be used instead of the white chocolate pudding mix.

I found it difficult to spread the pudding and get it into the holes. I wonder if we poured the pudding as soon as it is mixed and not let it set up if it would work better. I will try that next time. I didn't like that the pudding and frosting mixed together. The cake was not pretty but it was moist and very tasty. I eliminated the candy on the top and felt it was minty enough. I had to use sugar free white chocolate pudding also since I couldn't find the regular. I would make it again and might even try different variations of extract, pudding and cake flavors.
