crushed candy cane or "pepprmint chips"for topping
5snowflake cookie cutters
Instructions
Bring a small pot or saucepan of water to a light boil and top with a glass pyrex bowl. Remove from heat and add chocolate, stirring constantly. In a few minutes you'll have hot melty goodness ready to add to your cookie cutters.
Prep your workspace by laying down a sheet of wax or parchment paper so that the chocolate won't stick. Arrange your cookie cutters on the paper and spoon melted dark chocolate into each shape.
A few spoonfuls for each should fill each about half-way. Tapping your spoon in the center of the shape will help distribute it evenly.
Next add a little sprinkle of crushed candy cane or peppermint chips and allow candy to cool.
While you wait for your dark chocolate to harden, rinse your glass bowl with hot water and allow it to dry. Water messes up the candy-making process so don't skip this step. Same goes for the white chocolate, if you rush into the next step you're going to have a hot mess on your hands.
Once the dark chocolate is solid, move on to the white chocolate layer. Spoon it to fill the cookie cutters and tap gently on your counter-top to distribute the chocolate evenly. Top with more crushed peppermint and allow to cool. WOOT! You totally just made candy!
