I’ve recently made a batch of crushed up peppermint candy canes to add to a few yummy holiday treats. Simply add candy canes or round peppermint wheels to a blender. On pulse, I used my blender to get it crushed up really fine. You can also simply add peppermint candies in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin, that will do the trick too.
Once you have your crushed peppermint, you’re ready for add this as a sprinkling to so many delicious desserts. Especially during the holidays, when candy canes are ever present. Here are a few perfect yummies that need an extra dose of peppermint.
