DIY Peppermint Cookie Cholocates

Hello everyone!

With Thanksgiving checked off and Christmas quickly approaching, I have been working on some holiday baking and crafts! This week I made Peppermint Cookie Chocolates, which turned out delicious, so of course I wanted to share!

Here's what you'll need:
- One bag of chocolate chips
- One bag of white chocolate chips
- Five candy canes- crushed
- Five oreo cookies- crushed
- Cookie sheet
- Wax or parchment paper
- Cookie cutters (mini would be the best!)

Step One: Lay out parchment paper to cover your cookie sheet and place the cookie cutters on top of it

Step Two: Melt the chocolate chips at 30 second intervals and stir in between until melted (about three times)

Step Three: Pour the melted chocolate chips into the cookie cutters, making sure all the cracks get filled. Place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to cool.

Step Four: Sprinkle crushed Oreos on top of the chocolate

Step Five: Melt the white chocolate chips at 30 second intervals and stir in between, then pour as you did in step three

Step Six: Sprinkle candy canes on top of the chocolate

Step Seven: Let cool in the refrigerator overnight.

Step Eight: On the day you are serving let them sit out for about 30 minutes before and then push down to pop them out of the cookie cutter :)

TIP: When you serve them place on plate for appeal, however they are rich! So cut them into smaller pieces once people start eating them.

They turned out beautiful and delicious! These were originally going to be peppermint bark, however all the recipes I saw for that involved saltine crackers or another odd ingredient, so this little invention came out great, and the shapes actually worked well. I wish I would have used mini cookie cutters, because it was a lot of chocolate, but it still worked good. Try it out and let me know how yours goes!

Thanks for reading!
