Easy and fast. Didn't use the food coloring, would try peppermint oil instead of extract next time as the chocolate seized up a bit when I put in the extract. Covered with crushed candy canes to hide the lumpiness. I doubt anyone will know it was lumpy but me. I hope not, as I really don't want to throw away all of that white chocolate.

Thanks for posting this! I was just looking for something easy and fun to try -- this is it! My husband is a peppermint freak -- and he loved this! Made exactly as noted and was so pleased withe the end result! Recommend for that easy late night snack when you want something sweet - and especially at the holidays!
