White Christmas

Submitted by ThatBobbieGirl

"My absolute favorite Christmas Candy. So simple to make, and people always ask for the recipe. So, here it is, before you've even asked!"

 

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 2
• Yields: 1 bark

ingredients

• white chocolate or white confectioner's coating (or combination of half each)
• hard peppermint candies or candy cane

directions

1. First of all, go wacko on some peppermint candies or candy canes: smash'em up into little tiny bits, either using your food processor or blender, or putting them in a heavy plastic bag and whacking'em with a mallet/rolling pin/bowling ball/go-go boots.
2. Melt some white chocolate or white candy coating (I actually use half of each to get a balance of good flavor and good setting/keeping).
3. Stir the peppermint candy into the melted white chocolate, then spread it out thin, about 1/4 inch thick, and let cool.
4. Break into chunks and store tightly covered.
5. Mails well, if it actually makes it to the post office.

Love the taste of this but I'm going to recommend adding some basic proportions for this recipe as a guide. I used a bag (12oz) of peppermint candy and a package of white chocolate bark (also 12oz I believe). I put half the peppermints in my food processor and made peppermint dust and left the other half in small chunks. Looks great too!

Very good candy! I think I had too many peppermint candies for the amount of chocolate, because it was very chunky, at least one batch. I could only find peppermint sticks and the buttery after dinner mints at my local store, so I made one batch with the peppermint, and the other with the after dinner mints, and I have to say, I liked the one with the after dinner mints the best. Both batches had a very nice flavor if you like chocolate and mint together, which I do, a lot. It would make a festive addition to a gift basket - very pretty candy. Thanks for a really nice recipe!

We used 12 oz of white chocolate and about 8 medium size candy canes. DD smashed the canes with a meat mallet until we had tiny little chips, but you could still see the red and white. It looked really pretty in the chocolate and tasted great. Thanks for this easy and delicious recipe.

I didn't know the proportions to use for this recipe, so, I melted the amount of chocolate I wanted to use and took a guess on how many peppermints to crush. I added the peppermints a little at a time until it looked right to me. I also crushed spearmint candies for this recipe and it tasted great, too. This is very simple to make. I filled small bags with this candy and added it to fruit baskets.
