Excellent results! I used Bob's Olde Tyme peppermint sticks since they are not wrapped AND they are the melt in your mouth kind...mmm Great gift idea, my relatives are getting a lot of this for Christmas gifts this year.

I never thought of using a blender before! That's a great idea. A hammer and a zip-lock bag gets messy, especially when the bag gets holes in it from the sharp candy. I love the candy canes, because they come in all different flavors, and you can always find flavors that will suit everyone (since not everyone likes peppermint).

I layered regular chocolate with white chocolate on top and then used crushed candy canes. It was sooooo yummy. I will definetely be trying it again.

Why didn't I think of that? I used cereal bags and a hammer for my peppermint biscotti. Next year. Your treats look beautiful! Merry Christmas :) A blender! Why didn’t I think of that?

This year I did it, but I do two layers. A bottom layer of chocolate chips. I used semi-sweet and it was divine! Three cups of chips to one pound of white stuff. Your idea of using the blender is really smart. I broke all mints by hand and I don't recommend it. Not only is it hard, it takes forever! You can see a picture of the ones I made on my family blog: http://stier-family.blogspot.com/2008/12/christmassy-up-in-here.html Yummm!!! Merry Christmas!
