Notes

Make sure Cool Whip is thawed.
Don't use the amount of milk called for on the pudding mix, and be sure you are using Instant Pudding.
Store in the refrigerator, and refrigerate within 2 hours of serving.
Decorate the dip with crushed peppermint the day you are serving it, as peppermint tends to get runny in the refrigerator. 
You can make the dip up to 2 days ahead of time.
