Hi there! I have actually made the Creme de Menthe Cheesecake recipe from the Festive Holidays Desserts recipe book before and it turned out delicious. For the candies, I used crushed Andes mints on top of the cheesecake as a garnish. I also added a few whole Andes mints on top for decoration. However, you can use any type of mint candies you prefer, such as peppermint patties or chocolate-covered mint candies. I hope your friend enjoys the cheesecake and has a happy Easter!
