Green Peppermint & Chocolate Loaf Dessert
Recipe: #15681

"If you like Peppermint Patties or Junior mints you'll probably like the taste combination in this dessert. The idea of using LIME jello may seem weird, but the peppermint drowns out the lime taste: what the lime Jello is contributing is its jelling properties and the color green rather than its flavor. (*To make sure you're using enough peppermint for this, take a taste of the jello right after adding the peppermint extract and add more if you think it's necessary; I tested mine like this the first time I made it but didn't find any more extract was needed. The strength of the peppermint may vary between brands, however.) The Dream Whip version of this seems a little better than the Cool Whip version, though both work fine. Cooking time is actually jelling time. To be safe, you may want to make this a day ahead. Prep time is 1/2 hour labor and 5 1/2 hours chilling; cooking time is just boiling water to dissolve jello."
