I love this recipe but I had to work with it a few times to make it pretty. I found it easier to melt the chocolate on the stove top in a small double boiler. I only melted one pound of chocolate at a time. I crushed 4 regular size candy canes and mixed them in the cocolate and then spread it on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. It works best if it is spread thin, not too thick. Then I had one candy cane crushed to a fine powder that I sprinkled on top while it was still warm, this made them shimmer and look so much more appealing. Then I chilled it in the fridge for about 30 minutes before breaking it up!

I used Peppermint AND Spearamint Stars and drizzled with milk chocolate for extra color and flavor. Turned out GREAT! :)

This was so easy to make and very good. I melted the chocolate on the stove top and put half the candy canes into the batter and the other half on top. Very good recipe. Thanks!

so good, so easy. however, one suggestion, put wax paper or parchment paper down in the pan before pouring it in. it makes it SO much easier to break apart.

This was great. I followed previous suggestions of using a thin dark chocolate layer, topped by the white chocolate. I also added a bit of peppermint oil to the white chocolate layer. Excellent!

This is a tasty recipe that is great for the holidays, I always give tins full of cookies and other goodies for gifts to friends and family and this is a must have in them. When making it, make sure you don't pour it in to small of a dish or the pieces will be so thick that it will be to hard to break apart. I recommend making them a little thinner then thick. About the thickness of a hershey bar.

I have been making this recipe during the Holiday season for years! I call it "Holiday Cheer" and once you taste it, you'll understand why! It goes perfect with a cup of home-made cocoa.

So easy! I don't like white chocolate either, but love this candy! I add a drop or two of peppermint extract to the melted chocolate and it gives it a subtle boost of mint flavor. And I just sprinkle the candies on top (instead of stirring it into the chocolate) so the small crystals give it some sparkle.

This recipe was incredibly easy to make and the end product was DELICIOUS! I crushed a couple extra candy canes and sprinkle over the top of the chocolate, once I had spread it out in the pan to give it a more finished appearance. EXCELLENT!!!

This is an easy and delicious recipe. It's a nice addition to your Christmas cookie trays. Sometimes I add a drop or two of red food coloring for some color.

This is a great recipe. I made it for my daughters teachers as a Christmas present. It was so easy even my three year old helped out. I ended up making more for our family get together.

Excellent recipe. I used the suggestions by others to first put a layer of semi-sweet chocolate then used the white chocolate (not a great fan of white chocolate--too sweet). The combo of the semi and white was perfect! One suggestion-I halved the recipe and when I went to smack the pan to break the brittle it didn't break so well. Maybe I should stick to the original recipe. P.S. My husband loved this and he hates white chocolate!
