Recipe Tips

Combine graham crumbs, 1/4 cup crushed candy and butter; press onto bottom and up side of 9-inch pie plate. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Bring 1/2 cup whipping cream just to simmer in small saucepan on low heat; remove from heat. Add chocolate; stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended. Stir in 1/4 tsp. peppermint extract. Cool 10 min.

Spread chocolate mixture onto bottom of crust.

Beat remaining whipping cream with 2 Tbsp. sugar in large bowl with mixer on high speed until soft peaks form; set aside.

Beat cream cheese with remaining sugar and extract in separate large bowl with mixer until light and fluffy. Fold in 1/2 cup of the whipped cream; spread over chocolate layer in crust. Top with remaining whipped cream.

Refrigerate 3 hours.
