A super-simple recipe that's quick to make. You can freeze this and have it on hand for the entire holiday season. I also like to put it into decorative cellophane bags to give as gifts. White chocolate is not cheap, but if you plan ahead and watch for sales, and if you consider it a part of your holiday/specialty/gift budget, maybe you can manage it! Be sure to look for it in the bulk section of your local grocery store. Last year, I bought mine at Superstore. BE CAREFUL WITH THE CANDY CANES. Last year I bought mine at the dollar store because they were so much cheaper, but they were gross! They were not crunchy. So either they were not fresh, or they were just poor quality. This year, I'm going to try buying the mini candy canes and see if that makes a difference. Those always seem to be super crunchy and hard.
4 cups white chocolate
1 cup candy canes
2 tsp or more peppermint extract (optional)
Melt chocolate in double boiler. Mix with crushed candy canes. Pour into a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for 45 minutes. Break apart. You're done!
