How to make Peppermint Dip
Prepare the candy canes: If you are starting with full size or miniature candy canes, add them into a Ziploc bag and crush them into small pieces with a rolling pin.
If its off season, you can often find peppermint pieces in the candy aisle or baking aisle for these types of recipes.
In a medium-sized bowl, add the marshmallow fluff, softened cream cheese, Peppermint flavored extract, and a few drops of red food coloring.
Mix all of the dip ingredients until well combined, and the food coloring is even.
Toss in tiny bite sized crushed candy canes and mix until combined into the dip, this will leave some chunks in your dip and how fine you grind them prior is what decides how much crunch you get.
Scoop dip into a serving bowl and top with some extra crushed candy canes for presentation.
