Ingredients

Instructions

Line a standard muffin pan with paper liners and set aside.
Add semi sweet chocolate chips into a medium microwave safe bowl and microwave for 50 to 60 seconds, stirring every 20 seconds, until mostly melted. Remove bowl from microwave and continue stirring until fully melted.
Evenly divide melted chocolate into the prepared muffin pan, give the pan a few taps on the counter to help chocolate settle evenly. Refrigerate for 5 to 10 minutes.
Tip: Place the pan in the refrigerator for not longer than 10 minutes. You don’t want it to set for too long and completely harden, or else the layers will separate. You want it still a bit soft so the layers adhere together.
Add white chocolate chips into a another medium microwave safe bowl and microwave for 50 to 70 seconds, stirring every 20 seconds, until melted and smooth. Stir in peppermint extract.
Evenly divide melted white chocolate on top of the dark chocolate, give the pan a few taps on the counter to help white chocolate settle evenly. Top with crushed candy canes.
Place pan in the refrigerator to harden.
To crush candy canes, place unwrapped candy canes in a zip lock bag and crush using rolling pin or a meat mallet, until crushed.

Notes

Use crushed candy canes or crushed peppermint candies.

Use as much candy canes as you like.

No microwave? Melt using a double boiler on the stove.

You can use peppermint oil instead of peppermint extract, but the peppermint oil is very potent and only needs a drop or two.
