  • 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
  • 4 oz chocolate melted

  3. Stir in the peppermint extract and the melted chocolate.
  4. Pour the filling over the crust.
  5. Bake at 325F for about 55 minutes until the center is just set.

The long chill in the fridge is what gives you those clean, creamy slices, so don't rush it.
