Question:

Anyone have a copycat recipe for Swiss Colony's Peppermint torte?

Based on the pics, it appears to be a cream cheese or buttercream with chunks of peppermint candyHas anyone tried to make this at home (most people I've talked to say that Swiss Colony is just for looks and not for taste) and figured it out?
