Nothing says festive quite like a Peppermint Swirl Whipped Topping! Use it to top your favorite hot cocoa or coffee beverage.

Peppermint Swirl Whipped Topping

Add peppermint extract to whipped topping; gently stir to combine. Add food coloring gel 1 inch apart around the top inside of a large pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Hold bag vertical for coloring to run down to form strips inside bag. 

Carefully spoon whipped topping into the pastry bag. Pipe whipped topping in a circular motion on top of hot cocoa in mugs.

Garnish with chocolate syrup and mint candies, if desired.
