I got this recipe from Group Recipes and it was SO good i HAD to post it here. I take no credit!! Thanks to Jovi_nutt! It tastes like a Thin Mint girl scout cookie or a York peppermint patty. It wasn't nearly as heavy as i thought, either!

Overall, I thought this cake was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake didn't turn out as good as I expected. It was still edible, but it wasn't as moist as I would have liked.
