Ingredients
- 3 cups dark chocolate chips We used Ghiradelli
- 14 oz (1 can) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
- 2-3 candy canes, crushed
Instructions
- Line an 8 x 8 pan with aluminum foil. Cover the bottom and sides of the pan. Spray foil with nonstick cooking spray.
- Combine the dark chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a double boiler over medium heat. Heat until melted. *If you do not have a double boiler pan set, you can heat a 2 QT pan of water, and place a large glass or metal bowl containing the chocolate chips over it to melt the chocolate chips.
- Stir mixture until smooth, then add peppermint extract. Stir well until combined.
- Immediately pour mixture into your foil-lined pan. Use a spatula to smooth the surface, then sprinkle on the crushed candy canes.
- Refrigerate for 2 hours, or until set and hardened. Cut into small squares and enjoy..in moderation..yes, it will be difficult!
