Instructions
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
Place 2 cups of water in a medium-sized pan fitted with a double boiler.
In the double boiler over low heat, melt dark/milk chocolate.
16 oz chocolate, chopped
Once it has melted, add a splash of peppermint extract, stir, and pour onto the baking sheet.
1 tsp peppermint extract
Freeze for 15 minutes.
Place unwrapped candy canes in a Ziploc bag, and crush with a heavy cutting board, rolling pin, or another heavy object.
3 regular-sized candy canes
While the chocolate is in the freezer, clean the double boiler (DRY VERY WELL) and add white chocolate. Heat over low heat.
8 oz white chocolate, chopped
Pour the white chocolate over the dark. You may need to spread it a bit with a silicone spatula.
Sprinkle with crushed candy canes, and pop it back in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Remove the tray from the freezer, and with clean dry hands break it into chunks.
Notes
Store in an airtight container and in a cool dry place for up to three weeks.
