Peppermint Extract is an easy way to add great peppermint flavor to your desserts. Rather than a traditional alcohol-based extract, I actually prefer this Peppermint Bakery Emulsion from LorAnn. It can stand up to high heat, so the flavor doesn’t evaporate during baking and it produces consistent results, every time. It’s not JUST for baking, though–you can also use it in ganaches, candies, and other unbaked recipes.
