Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 cup crushed peppermint candies or candy canes
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set it aside.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the white chocolate chips using a microwave or double boiler. If using a microwave, heat in 20-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval to prevent burning.
Once the chocolate is fully melted and smooth, stir in the peppermint extract until well combined.
Drop small spoonfuls (about 1 teaspoon each) of the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies or candy canes over the top of each chocolate drop, pressing lightly to ensure they stick.
Allow the candies to cool and harden completely at room temperature, or place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to speed up the process.
Once the candies are fully set, carefully peel them off the parchment paper and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
