My Peppermint Cheesecake Dip is a holiday favorite. Prepared with a creamy peppermint flavored base and topped with crushed candy canes!

My Peppermint Cheesecake Dip is so easy to make and is a great addition to a spread as an appetizer or a dessert. I love the pretty pink color the crushed candy canes give the dip.

I opted to serve this with graham crackers and chocolate covered pretzels. I have to say that that pretzels are amazing- sweet and salty for the win!  I also like to top the dip with crushed candy canes for extra peppermint flavor.

I use a food processor to crush them because it gets them very fine, but it is not necessary if you don't have one.

The best part of crushing the candy canes was the look on my son's face as he watched me take them from the tree and put them in the food processor. Poor kid was so confused, but loved the dip.

    I am such a fan of Cool Whip. I love that you paired this cheesecake dip with graham crackers. That makes it so easy, and I love graham crackers.
