3 ounces white chocolate, coarsely chopped
½ teaspoon pure peppermint extract
1 recipe Holiday Eggnog
Directions

- Just before serving, stir peppermint extract into the chilled egg yolk mixture, then fold in beaten egg whites.
- To serve, ladle eggnog into peppermint-rimmed mugs. Sprinkle with crushed candy and garnish each with 2 peppermint sticks.
