4 oz high quality milk or dark chocolate-broken into squares
4 oz high quality white chocolate-broken into squares
package of candy canes or peppermint star candy-broken into small pieces*
Instructions
Line a small baking sheet (7x10) with waxed paper.
Break apart and melt the milk or dark chocolate in the microwave according to package directions. (Hint: heat until almost melted, stir until all remaining pieces are melted and chocolate is creamy)
Spread over the waxed paper until smooth.
Place in freezer for at least 30 minutes.
When ready, melt white chocolate in the microwave according to package directions. (Hint: heat until almost melted, stir until all remaining pieces are melted and chocolate is creamy)
Once melted, remove baking sheet from freezer, spread the melted white chocolate on top of the frozen milk or dark chocolate. (Be careful not to work quickly so the 2 chocolates don't start to mix.).
Sprinkle crushed candy over the top, pressing in the bigger polices to secure them.
Place in freezer for 30 minutes to overnight.
When firmly solid, peel off waxed paper and break apart into pieces by hand.
Notes
* Easiest way to crush the candy is to place in a plastic baggie, seal and pound gently with the smooth side of a meat mallet. * Some recipes use chocolate chips, but they will melt too easily when serving.
