This Chocolate Peppermint Dessert has been enjoyed by my family for many years. Between my mom, sister and me, someone always makes it for our Christmas Eve family gathering at my Memaw’s house. Y’all. This dessert is so, SO good. YUM!
I’m on a Chocolate Peppermint kick {see my Chocolate Peppermint Truffles}, so this recipe was sure to get added into the mix.
Chocolate Pink Peppermint Dessert
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs {I used gluten-free ginger snaps.}
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts
- 8 ounces whipped topping
- 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies
- 1 cup miniature marshmallows
Sprinkle 1/2 cup crumbs evenly on the bottom of an ungreased bowl. Beat butter and cream cheese with sugar and chocolate in a bowl until fluffy. Fold in nuts and carefully spoon over crumbs in the bowl. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup crumbs over the chocolate layer.
In another bowl, combine whipped topping, peppermint candies and mini marshmallows. Spoon over crumbs and spread evenly to the sides of the bowl. Refrigerate for 12 hours or overnight before serving. Garnish with shaved chocolate and peppermint.
Enjoy!
Drool.
See? I’m not kidding. This stuff is AMAZING! Healthy? No. Delicious? You betcha!
Do you make a special dish each year at Christmas?
Have a beautiful day!

What kind of nuts do you recommend?
Pecans or walnuts work well.
Could you substitute Oreo crumbs for graham cracker crumbs?
Hi Jean! That would probably work quite well.
