Notes:

•  You can dye the cake and filling any color you want (swap the cake for green or orange and the filling purple or green).
• I suggest placing the M&M’s on right before serving. They can start to run the color from the condensation of the fridge.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
