    Chef’s Note: For an added treat, take a peppermint candy cane, place it into a small baggie, and smash it up into bits, then sprinkle the bits on top of the whipped cream. If you can get a green candy cane, you get extra bonus points :-)

    Chef’s Note: If you make your own whipped cream, then add a drop or two of green food coloring to the whipped cream… more bonus points.
