Ingredients:
  • 1 box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® white cake mix
  • Water, vegetable oil and egg whites called for on cake mix box

  • 1 container (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 5 drops yellow food color
  • Thin rectangular crème de menthe chocolate candies, unwrapped and cut into pieces, if desired
