It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like

I better stay away from the scale until next week.

Chocolate Peppermint Pie.  SO worth it.

Chocolate peppermint cream pie:

1 Graham Cracker Crust - cooled

Filling:
1 package dark chocolate pudding prepared as directed

Topping:
3 1/2 cups chilled whipping cream
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 3/4 teaspoons peppermint extract
1 teaspoon pink sugar
1 cup whipped cream (for garnish)
chopped Andes peppermint candies and pink sugar

Prepare pudding and cool. Fill pie crust until chocolate layer is about an inch deep. Put any remaining pudding in bowl for a snack later.

Whip whipping cream, powdered sugar, the pink sugar and peppermint extract until stiff peaks form.
If you like, whip remaining whipped cream and pipe onto edge of pie. Sprinkle with 3 or 4 chipped Andes candies and additional pink sugar. Chill and serve.
