Peppermint Candy Cane Dust

Candy Cane Dust (or Peppermint Powder as it's called in our house) is the easiest thing you'll ever love to make. One ingredient. One step. About fourteen bajillion ways to use it.
Candy Cane Powder
Ingredient:
- candy canes

Directions:
- Put candy canes in food processor (or magic bullet in my case) and pulverize!

So Many Uses!
- Add to your hot cocoa for peppermint cocoa
- Add to your coffee for peppermint coffee
- Add to vanilla icing to make peppermint vanilla icing and use on your cakes and cookies
- Add directly to your cake or cookie batter for peppermint cakes and cookies
- Dip your freshly iced cookies (or chocolate dipped pretzels!) in it for a flavor boost

Tell me, what will you do with your Peppermint Candy Cane Dust?

I used a hammer to make mine this Christmas, but a blender would be much easier. I used mine on a gingerbread train that I did with my niece and nephews. I called it candy cane snow.

How do you store it and what is it's approximate shelf life? Can't wait to do this.

I don't have a food processor. I am using a hammer but this still seems to leave lots of chunks when all I want is the powder/dust. How is this achieved? Wouldn't a blender need a wet ingredient and if this is the case it wouldn't be dust, it would be a paste, right? Thanks.Mary in KY
