I make one small change: Cut the peppermints used for garnish in half. This recipe is becoming a holiday tradition.

I have made it before and it is super easy, fancy looking and very yummy. My daughter has, again, requested this dessert for her birthday. Make this and everyone will be impressed and think you spent a long time in the kitchen!
