 *Use Basic Recipe *Use Graham Cracker Crust found
 under Crust Variations.

 Candy canes, a seasonal favorite, add yummy flavor as
 well as festive color to our delectable peppermint
 cheesecake.  We think it works especially well with
 our graham cracker crust.

 Add 1 tsp peppermint extract to basic recipe with
 vanilla.  Reserve 1 cup batter.  Pour remaining into
 prepared pan.  Add 1/2 cup coarsely chopped hard
 peppermint candies and 1-2 drops red food coloring to
 reserved batter; swirl into batter in pan.  Bake as
 directed.  Garnish chilled cake just before serving
 with crushed peppermint candies, if desired.
