How to Make White Chocolate Peppermint Candies

  1. Spray a standard ice cube tray generously with cooking spray.
  2. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of crushed candy canes into the bottom of each ice cube compartment.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 2 cups of white chocolate candy melts according to package directions. Pour approximately 2 tablespoons of melted chocolate into each ice cube compartment.
  4. Gently tilt the ice cube tray in all directions to ensure the chocolate coats the sides of each compartment.
  5. Place the tray in the freezer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
  6. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/2 cup of white chocolate candy melts with 1 tablespoon of heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract, and a few drops of green food coloring (adjust to your desired shade). Stir until smooth and well combined.
  7. Evenly pour the peppermint white chocolate mixture into the ice cube compartments, over the previously set chocolate layer.
  8. Place the tray back in the freezer for another 15-20 minutes, or until the second layer is set.
  9. Melt the remaining 1/2 cup of white chocolate candy melts according to package directions. Drizzle or spoon this melted chocolate over the set peppermint layer to create a decorative top layer.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the candies to fully set before removing them from the tray.
