Peppermint Extract and Oil Recipes

These homemade marshmallows with a hint of peppermint are great for adding to a cup of hot chocolate.

This is a good frosting for Mayonnaise Cake. If you're really having a chocolate fit, double the glaze! The frosting and cake are rich enough to cut the unsweetened chocolate taste. Pour some glaze on the middle layer too.

An easy, mint-flavored frosting. You can substitute 4 to 6 tablespoons creme de menthe syrup for the peppermint extract and milk, if desired.

My husband always asks for peppermint crinkle cookies at Christmas, and I always have trouble finding a recipe with the perfect cake-to-fudge balance. After years of hits and misses, my husband insisted I write this recipe down. This is for a smaller batch, but can easily be doubled for larger families.

Great syrup for flavoring coffees and all other hot drinks such as lattes, hot chocolate, and tea. Great for your budget. No more buying costly flavored syrups from coffee houses. Give as a gift anytime of the year for the coffee lover.

Great Christmas cookie!

A chocolaty chocolate chip cookie, with peppermint flavoring. This is for kids or adults (I'm a 10 year old.) They taste best when they're still hot.

You can vary what you top this festive cheesecake with: crushed candy canes are a must, but you can spread whipped cream on top before sprinkling with candy canes, or drizzle with some melted chocolate chips. Please add your comments as you find ways to improve this recipe!

I double this recipe and put it in a heart-shaped silicone baking mold for Valentine's Day! I prefer using silicone baking molds as it is easier to pop right out of the mold without having to use a cooking/baking spray.

This is a great-tasting cookie and it's always very pretty on the Christmas table!

I never liked peppermint bark until I tried this recipe. The soft ganache center contrasts perfectly with the crunchy peppermints.

An old favorite, this recipe is based on vodka and flavored with anise, peppermint and ginger.

Don't be intimidated by the long ingredient list - this recipe includes the mint-chocolate chip cake, frosting, and ganache in one place! This impressive cake presents well and is great for a crowd, as a small piece goes a long way.

This is my version of a popular scouting cookie. Instead of thin and crispy, these are thick and chewy!

Even fans of non-white chocolate enjoyed! Stored in the refrigerator, the bark will keep for a week.

The most addicting cookies I know of. You really can't just have one!

My boyfriend's favorite treat that I make. Deliciously moist cake with a light and fluffy mint buttercream topping. After covering cupcakes with buttercream, decorating with sprinkles or chocolate pieces is recommended.

For a decadent holiday treat, transform a package of mint Oreo® cookies into minty chocolate truffles with just a few ingredients and a couple hours of chilling time.

Great cookies that look and taste great. Perfect for holidays such as Christmas or Saint Patrick's Day.

This recipe was passed on to my mom from her dear friend Erika Brooks who was an amazing cook, baker, and cake decorator in 1984. This recipe is based on the famous Frango® candy that was sold at the Bon Marche in Seattle, WA. I have substituted other extracts for different flavors. If I want a pretty look, I pipe the chocolate into small candy papers with a pastry tip. The result is a soft smooth chocolate candy.

A delicate cookie with a soft peppermint flavor and scent. Perfect little cookies for Valentine's Day!

These heavenly nuggets are out of this world! Always a huge hit with everyone who tries them!

This cake is a red velvet cake with a peppermint twist, and a delicious peppermint cream cheese frosting.

Mint and chocolate meet again in everyone's favorite chocolate cookie.
