Well, this recipe is two things I love-red velvet and poke cakes. I love the idea of decorating with peppermint candies. This will make a beautiful cake and will be different from the usual Christmas cookies. I bet it does taste better the next day! It .will be delicious with coffee or milk

At first I was a little skeptical about the combination of flavors, but once I tried it I was totally on board. I love how the pudding seeps into the cake. (I think it tastes even better the next day!).
