I saw this yesterday

so got a couple boxes. Thought I would do a pudding pie and put it into a graham cracker crust. On the box it said 1 3/4 cups milk, the mix and 1/2 cup cool whip. So I mixed it up. People like it. It is not overly minty. Upon taking this picture I was reading and the cool whip was to go on the top......but I think I like it in the with the pudding!
