💚❤️ MINT TO BE

Lovely × Peppermint

From Lovely's chocolate cupboard

You'll need

  • 2 cups (340 g) milk, dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1/2 cup (85 g) white chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup finely crushed candy canes, about 3 regular candy canes

Aprons on

Let's make it

  1. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Put the candy canes in a sealed sturdy bag and ask a grown-up to crush them into small pieces with a rolling pin.

  2. Ask a grown-up to melt the darker chocolate. Stir in the peppermint extract, then spread the chocolate on the parchment in an even layer about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick.

  3. Ask a grown-up to melt the white chocolate. Drizzle it over the darker chocolate, then gently swirl the two with the tip of a butter knife.

  4. Sprinkle the crushed candy cane evenly over the top and press it down very lightly.

  5. Chill for about 30 minutes, until firm. A grown-up breaks or cuts it into about 18 pieces. Store in an airtight container in a cool place.

Cooking options

🔥 Stovetop — Ginger's Main Method
