Crushed candy canes (about 4 large)

Large mixing bowl:

  1. Beat the butter smoothly and add the vanilla extract, salt, and peppermint extract.
  2. Mix in powdered sugar a little at a time with the heavy cream until frosting is fluffy. (You can add additional cream to get consistency nice and smooth or more confectioner’s sugar to thicken).
  3. Set aside.
