These are a great Christmas cookie. I have several suggestions to make it easier to make them. First of all, make sure the pieces of candy are fairly small. I had a few bigger pieces, and these were the ones that "leaked" out of the cookies and made a little mess. Second, after you form the rolls, wrap them in plastic wrap and freeze them. They then are easy to slice and they keep their shape better. Slice them with the plastic wrap on then just peel it off each slice. Finally, use parchment paper on the cookie sheets. The cookies came off easily, and any mess from melted peppermint can just be flicked off the paper and it can be used again for another tray. I considered dipping one half in chocolate and then more crushed candy as others have suggested, but I decided they looked fine as they were with all the pink specks from the candy.
