Chocolate Poke Cake with mint cookies

You guys, this cake. It’s what my Thin Mint cookie dreams are made of and then some. This chocolate poke cake is filled with chocolate pudding AND crushed thin mint cookies. Wowza. It is really incredible and one you definitely have to try!

With Girl Scout cookie season here you have to make this cake as soon as you can. If you haven’t been able to purchase any GS cookies yet then you can always use the Keebler grasshopper cookies. They would work perfectly for this. Luckily for me, my friend’s cute daughter is a Girl Scout so I was able to order some boxes from her. (I won’t admit how many I did order. ha!)

This delicious devil is going in the books as one of the best cakes I’ve ever made- and devoured. I love that the whipped topping keeps it on the lighter side. It’s not rich at all. Well, in my opinion anyway. But you will have to see for yourself. Now go make this cake! 😉
