This was spectacular! My husband couldn't stop munching on these yesterday. He's usually picky for ratings but he actually gave this one 5 stars, which actually says something! I used chocolate chips from our cupboard (so no cutting), and like 6 candy canes from our Christmas tree. One major substitution I made was due to improvisation since we could not find peppermint extract at the stores. I used corn syrup and put it in the saucepan on medium heat with the smallest crushed pieces and when it bubbled I took it off the heat and added it to the chocolate. It turned the syrup pink, but it did not change the color of the either chocolate whatsoever. I also just melted the chocolates on medium low heat, stirring constantly and watching carefully. If you do end up like me and have no extract, do the substitution beforehand because during the wait the chocolate was harder to manage. Overall though, spectacular recipe. This is probably going to become one of our Christmas staples from now on!
