- 2 small boxes Cheesecake Pudding, instant {or Vanilla pudding}

- 2 teaspoons mint extract
- Green Coloring Topping
- COOL WHIP whipped topping

- Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and fill cupcakes pans with liners {you should get at least 36 cupcakes from this recipe}
- In a small saucepan on the stove, heat the Chocolate pudding and milk, until it just starts to bubble and becomes slightly thick
- Add cake mix to a large bowl and pour chocolate pudding over the top, mix well
- Stir in chocolate chips if desired
- Add about 2 tablespoons or 1 cookie dough scoop to each liner, spread evenly with the back of a spoon. The batter will be very thick and look strange, but don't worry, it tastes great.
- Bake for about 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine 2 boxes of cheesecake pudding with milk, whisk for 2 minutes and place in fridge to set.
- After the pudding is set, add COOL WHIP and Marshmallow Fluff, fold in until well incorporated. You may need to whisk it a little to get it smooth.
- Add the mint extract and green coloring a little at a time until desired color.
- Place back in fridge until you are ready to use. Chocolate Curls
- Work with room temperature chocolate
- Place on counter and firmly but lightly pull a vegetable peeler across the side of the chocolate bar to create curls.
- After the cupcakes have cooled, spoon filling on top, add a large dollop of COOL WHIP whipped topping and then some Chocolate Curls.
- Store in fridge until ready to serve and keep leftovers in fridge
- These can be left out for a couple hours if you are serving them at a party, but store in fridge until ready to serve.
