Ingredients

  • 10 candy canes or starlight candy crushed
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1 container whipped topping thawed

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Put the candy canes in a zippered bag. Roll it with a rolling pin to crush them, or bang on it with a spoon.
  2. Use a mixer to beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and peppermint extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Fold the whipped topping and about 1/4 cup of crushed candy with a spatula. Save some crushed candy for serving.
  4. Chill the dip for at least one hour.
  5. Top with additional candy pieces before serving.

Notes

  • For a smooth and creamy dip, leave the cream cheese at room temperature for about an hour before starting.
  • Kids love to help crush the candy for this dip. I find candy canes crush easily.
  • For a chocolate taste, stir in 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips or peppermint baking chips.
  • Serve with your favorite cookies or graham crackers.
