This is one that should be in everyone's "quick, easy and dirt cheap christmas gifts " repertoire.
Perfect for a pot luck, shared lunch, individual gifts, or just for the table as a pretty colourful addition to the festivities.
You will need
1 pack (around 12 ) peppermint candy canes
250 grams white chocolate
If you prefer you can make this with milk or dark chocolate as well, or substitute the candy canes for smarties or something similar. Candy canes are nice because they are so christmassy.
Break the candy canes into pieces and then put them into a bag and run a rolling pin over it. You dont want candy cane dust you want discernable but small pieces.
Melt the chocolate, and pour onto a large lightly greased baking tray until it's around 2 mm thick. Evenly sprinkle the candy canes on top. Set aside until set or even pop it in the fridge.
When set break it into pieces and pop it on a serving tray, or into individual cellophane bags. Go here for a picture of the finished result. Gorgeous!
Total cost - $1.99 for the canes , and about $4.00 for the chocolate
