1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray two 8-inch round pans with baking spray.
2. Blend cake mix, buttermilk (or water), eggs, and oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer at low speed until moistened, about 30 seconds. Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Divide batter evenly into pans. Bake 24 to 26 minutes, until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
3. Cool cakes in pans on wire rack for 15 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely.
4. Place unwrapped peppermint candies in a resealable freezer bag and seal bag. Use a meat mallet or heavy kitchen utensil to crush into fine bits. Use kitchen shears to cut 2 PEEPS^® Candy Cane Flavored Marshmallow Chicks into 1/2-inch pieces.
5. Melt white candy according to package directions. Line a large baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper. Spread melted candy in thin layer on paper. Sprinkle chopped PEEPS^® and about 2 tablespoons crushed peppermint candy over melted candy. Let stand until hardened.
6. Place one cooled cake layer on serving plate. Spread with about half of the frosting. Sprinkle about a tablespoon of crushed peppermint on frosting. Top with second cake layer and frost top with remaining frosting.
7. Decorate cake with any remaining crushed peppermint candy, and remaining PEEPS^® Candy Cane Flavored Marshmallow Chicks. Break bark into large shards and place in the top of cake. Slice and serve your peppermint bark cake!
