Steps:
- Coat a 12-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray, and set aside. Place sugar, corn syrup, and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan. Cover; bring to a boil. Remove lid, and cook, swirling pan occasionally, until syrup registers 305 degrees (hard-crack stage) on a candy thermometer, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and carefully stir in lemon juice, extract, and food coloring.
- Pour hot syrup onto prepared baking sheet, being careful not to touch syrup. Using a metal spatula coated with cooking spray, fold edges toward the middle (this will help cool the syrup). When it is cool enough to handle but still quite warm, using plastic gloves, strech and pull candy, folding it over onto itself before pulling again, until it is opaque and just starting to firm up, about 10 minutes.
- Immediately pull off pieces to form long pencil-thin ropes. Working quickly, cut into 7-inch lengths with a pair of kitchen scissors. Continue pulling until all candy is used or is no longer pliable.
- Temper chocolate: Heat 2/3 of chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water until chocolate registers 118 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove pan from heat, and add the remaining chocolate; stir with a rubber spatula (avoid using a wooden spoon, which can impart other flavors) until it cools to 84 degrees. Remove any unmelted pieces, and discard. Return bowl to pan, and stir until chocolate reaches 88 to 90 degrees.
- Dip top 3 inches of each pepperment stick in the chocolate, if desired. Allow excess to drip off; set on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and let harden.
PEPPERMINT STICK DESSERT
With every spoonful of this cool, creamy concoction, my family goes back in time to when our Grandma Dagmar made it each Christmas. The minty, refreshing flavor can't be topped. -Dianne Oertel, Racine, Wisconsin

Steps:
- Combine milk, cream, and 1/2 cup sugar for ice cream in a medium pot over medium heat; bring to a simmer.
- Meanwhile, stir together egg yolks, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and salt in a small bowl.
- Pour some of the hot milk-cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking quickly to avoid scrambling the eggs. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan. Whisk and cook until custard coats the back of a spoon and does not flow when you run a finger through it, about 3 minutes.
- Transfer custard to a clean bowl and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours but preferably overnight.
- Remove custard from the refrigerator and stir in peppermint extract and food coloring. Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes; add crushed candy canes at the end of the churning time, or right before. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
- Combine cream, corn syrup, and sugar for hot fudge sauce in a medium saucepan. Sift in cocoa powder, stir, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add chocolate, reduce heat to medium. Simmer, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until completely melted. Remove from the heat and stir in butter, vanilla, and salt.
- Place a scoop of peppermint ice cream into a bowl, dribble on some hot fudge sauce, and sprinkle with additional crushed candy canes.

MARY'S 'FAMOUS' PEPPERMINT ICE CREAM DESSERT
This is made by our friend Mary for New Years annually, and I started making it when we would not be at Mary's house because it's DH's favorite. I made some of my own changes, but still think of it as Mary's recipe (I note where Mary's directions differ from mine in the ingredients list.). I also have never timed myself making this, but will the next time I make it and then update the time estimate. Peppermint ice cream is easier to find (IMO) in December.

Steps:
- Crush vanilla wafers.
- Melt butter.
- Mix wafers, butter, and powdered sugar together. Spread 2/3 of mixture in bottom of 9X13 (or slightly larger) pan.
- Melt sweet and milk chocolate in a double boiler.
- Beat egg yolks, add to melted chocolate and remove from heat.
- Beat egg whites until stiff, add to chocolate mixture.
- Pour 2/3 of chocolate sauce over wafer mixture.
- Sprinkle with chopped nuts.
- Carefully spread softened ice cream (Mary's recipe says to cut in sticks and lay on top of nuts, but that kind of box is hard to find anymore). I use a wide spoon and put fairly thin chunks across the surface, then smooth it out a little to make sure all the chocolate is covered.
- Pour rest of chocolate sauce over the ice cream.
- Sprinkle with remaining wafer mixture.
- Freeze at least overnight or for a few days. Remove from freezer shortly before serving to make it easier to cut.

15 PEPPERMINT DESSERTS TO MAKE FOR THE HOLIDAYS
From thespruceeats.com
Estimated Reading Time 5 mins
- Peppermint Brownies. These ganache-coated peppermint brownies will use up leftover candy canes or peppermint candies so they don't go soft after the holidays, but you might want to buy extras just to make them.
- Classic Peppermint Bark. Peppermint bark is probably the most classic peppermint dessert around Christmas time and for good reason. If you don't have time or the inclination to temper the chocolate, use chocolate melting disks, or don't temper at all.
- Peppermint Bark Cheesecake. With a pretty contrasting peppermint bark and cookie crust and a nice crunch from crushed-up candies, this festive cheesecake tastes as great as it'll look on your dessert table.
- Grasshopper Pie. Turn the classic cocktail into a dessert with this boozy no-bake grasshopper pie. It comes out fluffy and impressive, but serve it to the adults only because it does have creme de menthe.
- Vegan Hot Cocoa Cupcakes. These hot chocolate cupcakes taste just like sipping a candy cane-spiked cup of cocoa, but without any dairy products. Chickpea flour acts as both a flour and a natural binder and buckwheat flour gives them a lovely depth of flavor without adding too much nuttiness.
- Christmas Peppermint Cake. This gorgeous festive cake uses crushed candy canes and peppermint extract in the filling for a tasty mint flavor that complements the deep chocolate cake perfectly.
- Andes Mint Cookies. The mint-chocolate flavor of Andes Mint cookies is easily obtained with the little candies. This delicious treat incorporates the chocolate mints into the batter in two stages.
- Christmas Bark. This chocolate candy dessert is easy to make and festive looking, perfect for the holiday but delicious any time of year. Dark chocolate is melted and combined with peppermint extract and then drizzled with both milk and white chocolate.
- Chocolate Mint Cupcakes. Because they start with a cake mix, these easy cupcakes make a perfect treat for a busy evening. Beat the frosting long enough to give it time to get soft and fluffy or use canned frosting for an even faster dessert.
- Peppermint Cookies. With a texture that tastes like a fudge brownie, but in cookie form, these treats have as much chocolate as minty goodness. Top them with crushed peppermint candies for extra texture and color that will impress both Santa and your cookie swap partners.
