1 c. butter
3 squares baking chocolate, melted
3/4 tsp. peppermint flavoring
1 c. vanilla wafer crumbs
2 c. powdered sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
Maraschino cherries
Nuts
Whipped cream

Cream butter and sugar. Add melted chocolate and beat. Add eggs and beat. Blend in peppermint and vanilla. Sprinkle 3/4 of crumbs into cupcake liners (use two together). Spoon in the mixture and top with remaining crumbs plus a few chopped nuts if desired.

Freeze until firm. Top with whipped cream, cherries, and more nuts. This recipe makes about 2 dozen. They keep well frozen, and they are very nice to serve for a large crowd, since they can be made in advance.
