Chef's Notes

Substitute 12 ounces white baking chocolate, coarsely chopped, for the white chocolate chips; Before sprinkling on the peppermint candies, sift the crushed candies through a fine strainer to remove any ultrafine, dustlike pieces.

    I decided to give this a try because I absolutely love Hershey's Candy Cane flavored kisses. This recipe is almost exactly like them at a much cheaper price! I am going to make more for Christmas gifts! Thanks for the recipe.

    When microwaving the chips we checked and stirred after each 30 second interval total of 90 seconds. We did 1 & 1/2 recipe because we had that amount of ingredients. The ratio of peppermint extract was good. Didn't use the food coloring just a lot of peppermint candy. Great quick recipe!
