I made this tonight, and it turned out great - not quite as pretty as the submitter's, but not bad for my first try! The directions were very easy to follow. I used one bag each of Herhey's Special Dark chocolate chips and Nestle white chocolate chips, both 12 oz. I was already using my 9x12 pan to make fudge, so I just used a large, circular metal cookie tray. I did all the melting in the microwave in Pyrex measuring cups, so it was really easy. After I spread the dark chocolate and put it in the fridge to harden (but before I melted the white chocolate), I placed 25 Brach's peppermint candies into doubled-up ziploc sandwich baggies and crushed the crap out of them with a meat mallet. Then, I put a strainer over a bowl, and I poured the crushed mints into the strainer, so all the small and powdery pieces went into the bowl. I then melted the white chocolate and poured the tiny mint pieces (from the bowl) into the white chocolate before I spread it (that way, it would be a little more minty, and there's no waste). I then sprinkled the large pieces that were leftover (in the strainer) on top. I wrapped these and some Easy Butterscotch Fudge, and I am going to give some to our neighbor and to the mailman for holiday gifts. Thanks for this recipe!

I brought this to a christmas party and everyone loved it! What a great holiday gift, too! There is a bit of finesse to getting it to look right, and to not having the chocolate swirl into the white when smoothing it out. It helps if you chill/freeze it for about 10 minutes to make it extra hard before spreading. I used crushed candycanes with great results.

Just made two batches of this using Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate chips, Hershey's Premium White Chocolate chips & crushed candy canes. Had some separation of the layers, and I don't think it's quite peppermint-y enough -- next time I will add a touch of peppermint oil to the dark chocolate. Thanks for posting.

so simple, yet so delicious! The first time I made it the chocolate was too hot and ended up marbelling, which was actually very pretty. Learned from the experience though and let the chocolate cool a bit next time. Thanks for sharing! Sent for the Holiday Cookie Exchange 2009

Easy, yummy and it turns out pretty. A nice holiday gift. We used dark chocolate and vanilla candi quick. I think next time we'll skip the chocolate and just use the candi quick- it doesn't melt as easily.

wow! that turned out amazing! i made some to give out at Christmas and to be honest i wasn't too hooked on the idea at first i'm not a big mint person but it was wonderful! fyi buy the candy canes to crunch up, i made the mistake of buying the normal circle peppermints and i could not crush this things to save my life! on the upside by happy accident i think i may have come up with an interesting alternative. i got so frustrated trying to crush the candy i finally got annoying and threw the candies in the food processor and ground them to hell in back making them almost like a peppermint dust so i just put it in a shaker and dusted the top of the chocolate with it and i think it turned out that much better for it :) the peppermint candy melted in a bit with the white chocolate and it was wonderful!

I like to have a lot of peppermint in mine so I put candy canes in a chopper and mixed it in with the melted white chocolate.I than spread the candy cane chocolate on top of the dark chocolate and than put more candy cane on top. It was amazing I hope you enjoy as much as I have.

I just finished making this for thank you gifts. So very simple to make! My chocolates marbled a bit, but still look beautiful. Next time I will press the peppermint into the chocolate a little because when I was breaking it up the candy was falling off. Thanks!
