Butter –If you have been here before you know I always use real butter. If you only have margarine, it will work for this recipe.
Condensed Milk – You will want to use sweetened condensed milk for this recipe.
Peppermint - I recommend using crushed candy canes or peppermint crunch baking chips for this recipe
