A delightful holiday treat combining creamy chocolate and refreshing peppermint.
Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler until smooth.
Stir continuously to prevent the chocolate from burning.
Mix the crushed peppermint candy and peppermint extract into the melted chocolate.
Ensure the peppermint is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Line a baking tray with wax paper.
This prevents the chocolate from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Pour the chocolate mixture onto the prepared tray and spread evenly.
Use a spatula to create a smooth surface.
Chill the tray in the refrigerator until the chocolate is firm.
Check after 30 minutes to ensure the chocolate has set.
Break the chocolate into pieces and store in an airtight container.
Use your hands to create rustic, uneven pieces for a homemade look.
