In a blender or food processor, finely crush your peppermint candy or candy canes. In a small bowl, grate your dark chocolate and set aside.

In your blender, add ice cream, milk, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract; blend until well combined. If you are adding the food coloring, you can add it at this point.

Add in your crushed peppermints and dark chocolate, and continue to blend until everything comes together.

Pour into your favorite glass, garnish with some whipped cream, and enjoy!
