Peppermint dessert recipes for Christmas

Can we turn on the holiday music yet? No? Okay, well, maybe I will just settle for some candy canes and hot cocoa. That works right? Seriously, aren’t candy canes like the official holiday sweet? But, let’s be honest, they tend to get sticky and gross pretty quickly. Until someone way more creative then me said “How about we put these things in desserts?”
