Peppermint Cream

What a yummy idea... I found this over at Make & Takes -- you can visit  there for complete directions.

Basically for 16 oz of whipped cream (either cool whip or real) stir in 1/2 cup of powdered candy canes (crushed in a blender).

Top on your favorite hot cocoa -- freeze the extras!  Yum!
