Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 (15×10×1-inch) jelly-roll pans with waxed paper. Prepare cake mix as package directs using water.

In large bowl beat cream cheese, 3-1/2 cups powdered sugar, peppermint extract, vanilla and food coloring. Stir in whipped topping. Unroll cakes and spread with peppermint filling. Sprinkle each cake with 1/2 cup "M&M's"® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mini Baking Bits. Reroll cakes; sprinkle with powdered sugar. Decorate each cake with additional whipped topping and remaining 1/4 cup "M&M's"® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mini Baking Bits. Store covered in refrigerator.
