Peppermint Candy Cane Dust

"As soon as candy canes are available in stores (seems like October these days!), I make a big batch of this Peppermint Candy Cane Dust. We love it and I use it on so many things throughout the season. Peppermint is to December as Pumpkin is to October so far as I'm concerned. And let me tell you, I loooooove me some seasonal flavors. My daughter's favorite way to use Candy Cane Dust is in her hot chocolate, I'm partial to a Peppermint Mocha Hot Chocolate, and my boys love it in brownies. We like to keep ours in closed mason jars. It's important to make sure your container is well sealed otherwise the dust will turn into a candy cane clump. No big deal though, if it gets a little clumpy, just take a fork and stab at it a bit until it's back to a good consistency."
