Equipment
- 1 Chocolate Mold
Ingredients
- 1 Bag Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Melting Wafers [10 oz]
- 1 Bag Ghirardelli White Chocolate Melting Wafers [10 oz]
- 1-2 Candy Canes
- Peppermint Extract
Instructions
- Before I start melting the chocolate, I put the candy canes in a ziploc bag and smash the candy canes with the back of a spoon until they're in tiny pieces, set aside.1-2 Candy Canes
- Then, I start melting the dark chocolate wafers following the directions on the back of the bag. I just pour about half of the bag in a glass bowl, and start melting. The glass will be hot- be careful! [Heat wafers in microwave-safe container for 30 seconds. Stir thoroughly. If not completely melted, continue to microwave at 15 second intervals and stir until smooth.]1 Bag Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Melting Wafers
- Once the chocolate is melted, pour it into the mold- spread evenly, completely covering the bottom.
- Place in the refrigerator for a few minutes so the chocolate can begin to harden while you're preparing the white chocolate.[Be sure not to leave it in for too long, you don't want the dark chocolate to be completely hardened, so that the chocolates will fuse together and don't separate.]
- Start melting the white chocolate wafers the same way. [Heat wafers in microwave-safe container for 30 seconds. Stir thoroughly. If not completely melted, continue to microwave at 15 second intervals and stir until smooth.]1 Bag Ghirardelli White Chocolate Melting Wafers
- Take the chocolate mold out of the refrigerator.
- Once that's melted, drop a few drips of peppermint extract in with the white chocolate and stir it up. It's very strong, so you need less than you think!Peppermint Extract
- Now pour the peppermint infused white chocolate onto the dark chocolate layer. While it's still soft and warm, you want to now use the crushed candy canes and lay it on top of the white chocolate. [I usually try to lightly press it in so that it hardens in the white chocolate so the pieces won't fall off.]1-2 Candy Canes
- Place in the refrigerator for a few minutes for it to harden and then you can remove them from the mold
- Enjoy!
