method
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave, stir in ½ teaspoon peppermint extract, spread evenly on the sheet, and refrigerate for 15 minutes until firm.
Melt the white chocolate chips the same way, stir in the remaining ½ teaspoon peppermint extract, and spread over the firm dark layer.
Sprinkle the crushed candy canes on top and press gently to adhere.
Refrigerate for at least 45 minutes until fully set, then break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
Mix and match these with your existing favorites and build the holiday spread that suits your table.
