I made this as part of the chocolate mint cake and it was great and super easy! I used the mint extract, not the pepper mint oil, I ran out of time and that's all they had at the grocery store. It was still nice and minty, and was not overpowering at all. Next time, I will make with the peppermint oil.12/25/07
Love this recipe. I've made it twice in the last week. for office goodies. It's a great icing for brownies. I've put coloring into it, and this time, added just a tiny bit more peppermint flavor to make it stronger. One of the easiest recipes!12/15/07
