Ingredients
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 cup crushed peppermint candies or candy canes
Directions
Step 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set it aside.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Once the chocolate is fully melted and smooth, stir in the peppermint extract until well combined.
Step 4
Drop small spoonfuls (about 1 teaspoon each) of the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
Step 5
Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies or candy canes over the top of each chocolate drop, pressing lightly to ensure they stick.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
