Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup marshmallow creme
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 cup crushed peppermint candies, for topping

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
