How to Make Microwave White Chocolate Peppermint Pecan Brittle
- Line a large jellyroll pan (approximately 10x15 inches) with heavy-duty foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy lifting.
- Place 12 ounces of high-quality white chocolate chips in a large, microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave on medium power (50%) for 1-minute intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth (total time will vary, but should be around 3-5 minutes).
- Place 8-10 candy canes (about 4 ounces) in a resealable plastic bag. Crush into small chunks using a rolling pin or mallet. (Alternatively, place candy canes between two sheets of wax paper and crush).
- Stir the crushed candy canes and 1/2 cup of pecan halves (or omit nuts) into the melted white chocolate until evenly distributed.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly into a thin layer using a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the brittle is completely set and firm.
- Lift the brittle from the pan using the foil overhang. Break into irregular pieces by gently tapping the back of the pan on a hard surface.
- Enjoy your delicious homemade Microwave White Chocolate Peppermint Pecan Brittle!
