Equipment
- 12-cup muffin pan
- Cupcake liners
- Microwave-safe Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 bag Milk Chocolate Chips (11.5 ounce)
- 1 bag White Chocolate Chips (11 ounce)
- 1/4 tsp Peppermint Extract to 1/2 teaspoon
- 1/3 cup Crushed Candy Canes
Instructions
- Get Ready: Line a 12-cup muffin pan with festive cupcake liners. This makes cleanup a breeze!
- Melt the Dark Chocolate: Gently melt the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring well after each, until wonderfully smooth.
- Create the First Layer: Spoon the melted milk chocolate evenly into each lined cup. Let them rest for a few minutes to slightly set.
- Melt the White Chocolate: Now, melt the white chocolate chips in the same easy way – 30-second intervals, stirring until silky smooth.
- Infuse with Minty Freshness: Stir the peppermint extract and crushed candy canes into the melted white chocolate. Give it a quick taste and add more peppermint if you love that extra zing!
- Add the Peppermint Layer: Carefully spoon this minty white chocolate mixture over the milk chocolate in each cup, spreading it evenly. For an extra festive touch, sprinkle a few more crushed candy canes on top!
- Chill to Perfection: Place the cups in the fridge or a cool spot until they are completely firm. Once set, peel away the liners and enjoy your delightful homemade treats!
