Double Chocolate Peppermint Kiss Cake

Ben said that this was the best dessert I have ever made.  I thought it was alright.  It probably would not have made it into a post if he would not have raved on and on about it.  So I am including it for Ben’s sake. And the ganache/frosting turned out perfectly! It was the…
