    Peppermint Mocha Poke Cake is perfect for holiday get-togethers!

    The holiday season is here! This excites me because I get to enjoy all of my favorite holiday flavors, especially this Peppermint Mocha Poke Cake. It just doesn’t feel like the holidays until we go to Walmart and stock up on our favorite International Delight® Seasonal Creamers. If you are like me, you have to spend the next month and a half savoring the pumpkin, peppermint, and sugar cookie everything, before they are gone until next season. I will have to stock up on International Delight® Seasonal Creamers so I can make the holidays last as long as possible.

    Peppermint Mocha Poke Cake features boxed chocolate cake, International Delight creamer, pudding, whipped topping and peppermint patty candies.

    International Delight® Peppermint Mocha Coffe Creamer is a great way to stir liquid holiday cheer into your daily cup of coffee. Not only does International Delight make the perfect cup of coffee, it is also a great ingredient to use in recipes. You can also add seasonal flavors to just about any baked good. Just replace all, or part, of the liquid in a recipe with your favorite flavor. And, it’s not just baked goods, you can add International Delight® Creamers to homemade ice cream, no-bake cheesecakes, and dessert sauces. Have a look at my recipe for Sugar Cookie Ice Cream, it only requires 3 ingredients, and you don’t need an ice cream maker!

    Peppermint Mocha Poke Cake features boxed chocolate cake, International Delight creamer, pudding, whipped topping and peppermint patty candies. International Delight® Peppermint Mocha is always on the nice list.

    At our house, when we make a pot of coffee everyone seems to gather around. There is something about a warm cup of coffee that attracts people. We always keep plenty of International Delight® Chocolate Hazelnut in the fridge, so everybody can personalize their cup of coffee with the flavor they love the most. I can’t actually pick a favorite, they are all so yummy!

      Very good, everyone loves it… I used York peppermint pudding instead of chocolate. Wasn’t sure if cake was supposed to cool or not before adding the pudding so I poked hot then cooled then added pudding the. Cool whip, wasn’t sure if I should have don’t the rest hot too?

        The cake cools a bit while I mix the pudding and let it set a few minutes. Then I top the pudding with the Cool Whip right after I put the pudding on. I put the Cool Whip on in several dollops and take care not to mix the Cool Whip into the pudding. I am glad everyone liked it!
