Peppermint Chocolate Delight - Nilla wafer crust, cream cheese layer, chocolate pudding layer, whipped cream and candy cane pieces. It's our new favorite Christmas dessert!
It was so good, but I have a recipe today that I think is even better. It’s called Peppermint Chocolate Delight. We made it a few weeks ago and it was so good that it was gone so fast. It has a cracker crumb bottom, cream cheese layer, chocolate pudding layer and whipped topping with candy cane pieces. I think it’s another great dessert to make for Christmas. The chocolate and peppermint combo is amazing. In fact, I might have to try making chocolate dipped peppermints because I love the combination. Here is what you’ll need to make it.
