One of my favorite holiday flavors is peppermint. Unfortunately, my husband is not a peppermint fan, so I don’t usually make a lot of peppermint flavored treats. But I guess one good thing about having a husband that is working away from home is that you get to make all of your favorites that you wouldn’t normally make!!
I’m a year-round ice cream girl, no matter what the temperature is outside! So I thought I’d combine some of my favorite flavors and put them over ice cream. This would be a perfect dessert for a family get together or a festive party. This is a great way to celebrate the season!
Marshmallow Peppermint Sauce
makes about 1 1/2 cups of sauce
1 cup crushed candy canes
1 cup cream
1 7-ounce jar marshmallow creme
Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat, stiring constantly, until the candy canes have melted. Store in the refrigerator. Serve over ice cream.
