Which is exactly what I did when I made this. I enlisted my kids to help me out.

They unwrapped candy canes while I crushed them with a meat mallet and helped me sprinkle all the peppermint bits over the chocolate. It is so nice to have help in the kitchen – don’t you agree?

Ingredients

  • 24 oz white chocolate chips
  • 24 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
