Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (16 oz) of chocolate cream cheese or mousse
  • 1 cup crushed peppermint candies or peppermint bark
  • 2 cups whipped topping (like whipped cream or Cool Whip)
  • 1 box chocolate graham crackers or chocolate cookies
  • 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce or chocolate syrup
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • Additional crushed peppermint or mini candy canes for garnish

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Spread a thin layer of hot fudge sauce in a serving dish. Place a layer of cookies on top, then spread a layer of the chocolate mixture over the cookies. Repeat layers—cookie, chocolate mixture, fudge—until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of the chocolate mixture on top.
  4. Sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies or mini candy canes for a festive touch. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Make ahead and refrigerate for up to 3 days for best flavor.
