- 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce or chocolate syrup

Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the chocolate cream cheese or mousse with peppermint extract. Gently fold in about half of the whipped topping until well combined.
- Crush the chocolate graham crackers or cookies into small crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
