I will have to search my paper files to see if I have this or something like it. I saw this demo at the first kitchen show I ever went to. Basically (let's see if I remember this) you use crescent roll dough lay it out like you would for a braid but then curve one end like a candy cane. Mix up cream cheese, vanilla, powdered sugar, maybe something else. Spread down the middle of the dough and then top with cherry pie filling. Fold the dough strips over so you see the red and the dough is your white and it looks like a candy cane. Bake and you are done. I will look for the actual recipe.

Ok so its not actually a peppermint thing?  It is the Cherry Cheese Coffee Cake shaped like a candy cane?  I know THAT recipe. 

I am looking for something to do at my cluster meeting on Tuesday that is holiday related.  Last year I did the mini cinnamon bun christmas tree thing.  The year before, I did the banana cream supreme with the whipped topping coloured red and green.  I was sort of hoping this one was pepperminty.  Ah well- the shape will be cool anyhow!  And no one on the team (including me!) has ever seen it done this way.  Thanks!

go to the bottom of the page and click on Christmas Central (I don't know how to link things like that) on the left. There is TONS of stuff there. Also a website for Mrs. Claus' Cookbook is on there - billions of recipes. You might try one of those. Some of them sound really good.

It's in the Documents under the Celebrate cookbook.
