Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. In a medium bowl, combine crumbs, granulated sugar, and butter. Press into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch deep-dish removable-bottom tart pan. Bake for 10 minutes; remove from oven, and let cool completely.

2. In a separate medium bowl, beat cream cheese at medium-high speed until smooth. Add confectioners' sugar and extracts, beating to combine. Add all peppermints and 1 container of whipped topping, beating until combined. Spoon mixture into prepared crust, smoothing surface. Chill for 8 hours or overnight. Top pie with 1 remaining container whipped topping. Garnish with crushed peppermint candies, if desired.
