Peppermint Buttercream Frosting

Excellent creamy frosting with amazing pops of peppermint. This is really a standard buttercream frosting, but two ingredients elevate it - 1/2 C ground up peppermint candies and 2T peppermint schnapps.

The appearance was quite lovely - a pale pink with spots of color from the candies. Be careful to not totally pulverize the candies, small shards look the best.

This was used to frost a chocolate cake (see my other review), and was prepared as the second birthday cake for my daughter, who turned 13 recently.
