Gluten-Free Candy Cane & Peppermint Dessert Recipes Featured on All Gluten-Free Desserts
Today is National Candy Cane Day! What fun and how timely, right? Candy canes are definitely loved by many. These colorful red-and-white striped treats brighten so many holiday displays and when offered as a candy treat, they usually bring a smile to most faces—young and old. Of course, not everyone opts for candy canes, but many of us who don’t still love peppermint-flavored goodies. So today I’m sharing a candy cane recipe roundup that also includes some other recipes that feature peppermint extract. I think you will love them all!
