I tried to make this but the chocolate did not melt, only burned. I stirred it every 30 seconds and it still burned. It sounds like a delicious recipe and maybe it was the type of chips I used (Ghiradelli). I plan to try this again using a double boiler but am very dissapointed that I wasted so much white chocolate.

Little time, big payoff. This recipe was so good. I used peppermint schnapps instead of the extract, so it could've used more mint "oomph". Even my husband thought this was excellent, and he's not a fan of sweets, so you know its good. :)

This is the same recipe I have been using for my Christmas cookie trays. However, I have lost my copy and wanted one to add to my cookbook. I didn't want to forget to making it this year. The only things i do differently is save some of the crushed candy canes (or crush some extra) and sprinkle over the top and I also add 1 tsp of peppermint extract. Thank you so much for posting it!
