    It is edible, but barely. I must've gone wrong somewhere...the gelatin broke up into chunks, so you just fine a bite of gel in the middle of your bite of pie. The flavor is a little too mild, but that's could've been fixed...I just don't know how to fix the texture. Also, people weren't kidding about it taking a long time to melt those candies, it was WAY longer than the recipe said it would be to make this pie.

    This pie is deliiiiiiicious!! I bought a pack of Publix brand soft mints which was 9 oz and the mints weren't wrapped, so it saved a lot of time. I just dumped the whole bag into the heavy cream to melt. They are fairly small too, so I didn't need to break them up. A few didn't melt completely, but that wasn't a problem. I added a little red food coloring and 1/4 tsp peppermint extract to the melted candy/cream. I let it cool WAY down (actually in the fridge but periodically stirred it to keep it from setting up, so it wouldn't melt my whipped cream. I also added 1/4-1/2 tsp of peppermint extract to the whipped cream. I folded it all together with a handful (maybe half a cup at most of white chocolate chips. The red food coloring made it look soooo pretty and swirly like a giant peppermint! I dusted the top with crushed soft mints and cocoa powder. It was delicious and didn't have a jelloey texture. Creamy, fluffy, minty, and yummy!

    I had high hopes when I made this for a special Christmas dinner.I am an experienced baker and followed the recipe but this was a complete flop.

    Extremely simple to make. The chocolate crust just pulls the whole pie together. It's just to die for. After I tried it myself I made it as Christmas Gifts to my friends and family. They love it too

    At first I thought this may be a bit hard for me to make-well, I did and after making it only one time and my family and friends loved it. It is an easy pie to make. I have changed it a few times and used gingerbread cookies for the crust-super combo with the pepermint--real nice for the holidays! Thank you Paula!!

    I was skeptical after reading the mixed reviews on this one, but thought I would give it a try. I did buy the correct peppermint candy. This is the first Paula Dean recipe I have made that was not fantastic! Everything lacking here...flavor, consistency. Would not make again. Best part was the pre-made chocolate crust!

    Dont let the mixture cool too much, or it is very sticky. I used low fat cool whip and it worked fine. I would be very interested in some variation which uses peppermint oil/extract, powdered sugar, and food coloring instead of the candys.

    I was a little skeptical at first, but when I finally decided to make it, my family loved it. My son said it tasted like those mint candies they we love so much. I used hard candy instead and beat them into little pieces first and that worked better for me. We will definately be making this again. Sorry I doubted you Paula, I won't do it again. :D

    Love the taste of this pie, not crazy about the texture. Mind you, none got thrown away!
