Hershey's Chocolate Mint Candy Canes (12ct)

Product Information

If you want to make the cookies extra pretty, you can add extra candy cane pieces right after they come out of the oven. The baked cookies are drizzled with melted dark chocolate and finished with a sprinkling of even more peppermint candies. Crushed and sprinkled on melted chocolate, this Peppermint Candy Cane Chocolate Bark Recipe is so moreish! If you are making this for a crowd you can easily double or triple this recipe and make in a roasting dish – it will go down well wherever you take it! VERY slowly, begin to pour in the hot coffee, whisking quickly and constantly to avoid scrambled eggs.

And while candy melts are great for coating cake pops, in a recipe like this, you’ll really taste the difference between actual chocolate and candy melts. Put the candy canes in a plastic bag, reserving one for the centre if you wish, and smash them up with a rolling pin. I am fresh out of candy canes (made a bunch of batches of my Chocolate Peppermint Puppy Chow for neighbors! Smashed up red and white Christmas Candy Canes bring a minty twist to this quick and easy to make no bake treat. I have always adored festive baking because of the flavours, the fact that people get so much joy out of it, but this year really has seen such an increase in baking becoming a hobby that I am even more excited to share delicious recipes!It is FINALLY December after one of the weirdest years ever… and it’s time for some more delicious treats.

Great flavor, but I will add more peppermint oil on my next batch, as well as a few more candy canes.Lower heat to low and cook, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula, until the chocolate is melted. It is quickly and easily made, looks festive and has the great flavour combination of chocolate and peppermint – I’m sure they were made to be together! The topping is simple – mini candy canes, and some crushed candy canes – this is optional, but is obviously the entire point of the bake!

I would freeze in layers with wax paper or parchment between layers in a Ziplock bag then “thaw” in the fridge. All you’re doing here is chopping up the chocolates separately, melting them separately with a little oil to thin the melted chocolate, and layering them on top of one another. Remove the bowl from the heat, taking care that no steam gets in the bowl or the mixture will seize.Next add the chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl then heat in 30 second increments, stirring between increments, until the chocolate is smooth – mine took 1:30.

That is to say, anyone can make this sweet snack or dessert, and it makes for such an easy, thoughtful gift.

Just pull your airtight container or bag of cookies from the freezer several hours before serving and allow them to thaw at room temperature. CANDYCANE INGREDIENTS: Colombian Couverture Chocolate (100%) (cocoa mass, sugar, OAT powder, cocoa butter, dried rice powder, emulsifier: sunflower lecithin; vanilla extract), Natural Peppermint Flavouring (<1%). Pour all of the semi-sweet chocolate over the white chocolate layer and spread it into a smooth layer.

The dough needs at least 30 minutes to chill in the fridge so the cookies don’t spread out too much. The bark sets in an hour, so your holiday treat will be ready for tasting and gift-giving in a snap! You can use a knife and try and be precise or be free to break into pieces that are assorted shapes and sizes. And by active cooking time I mean crushing candy canes then adding them to chocolate chips melted in the microwave.
