Going for a fun Halloween idea, thought of my Pink Peppermint Patties and instantly new what to do. Same recipe, just different concept. Enjoy.
Ingredients:
1 pkg(24oz) white almond bark chocolate flavored coating(melting chocolate)
2 boxes(12ct) standard peppermint flavored candy canes
**red food coloring or wilton's red food coloring gel
Directions:
1. In a double boiler, on low-medium heat, melt entire package of Almond Bark Chocolate, until all is melted and smooth with no lumps.
2. In the meantime while melting chocolate, unwrap plastic from candy canes. Break into pieces. Place candy canes in a food processor. Pulse and grind the candy in processor until in tiny pieces. You may have powder and small chunks but is okay, it's what gives the candy it's pink color. Remove from processor and pour into the melted chocolate, stir thoroughly until well combined. This will make it thick, wet and somewhat lumpy....normal and will turn pink..
3. Add food coloring to desired shade of red. Please note: This batch was made with Wilton's food coloring gel, it made this very stiff and mold-able, so work fast on this. If you use plain food coloring the batch will be thick but not mold-able.
4. 2-different ways for the next step-Choice is up to you: 1) Take 2 tsp size spoons and spoon out peppermint mixture on to a parchment lined pan (like spooning cookie dough) Spacing dropfuls 1 inch apart from each other onto pan. When cooled remove from pan and store in ziploc type bags. Makes 30 + medallions OR 2) Pour mixture onto a jelly roll lined baking pan with foil. Covering bottom and edges of pan. Spread peppermint mixture evenly. When cooled, turn over pan, remove foil and break into huge pieces. And store ziploc type bags.
