Notes

Allow the cream cheese and Cool Whip to soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes to ensure smooth mixing.
For a non-alcoholic version, omit the vodka and add a teaspoon of peppermint extract instead.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Crush peppermint candies using a rolling pin or food processor for best texture.
Serve chilled for the best flavor and consistency.
