  1. Line a baking sheet or square pan with parchment paper.
  2. Crush the candy canes in a zip top bag using a rolling pin, leaving small chunks.
  3. Melt the white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in short bursts (20-30 seconds), stirring until smooth. If desired, add a few drops of peppermint extract.
  4. Pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment paper and spread it into an even layer.
  5. Sprinkle crushed peppermint on top and gently press it in.
  6. Chill in the fridge for 20-30 minutes or until firm, then break into pieces.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge to keep the peppermint crunchy. Avoid strong odors in the fridge. For an elegant gift, package in a cellophane bag with a ribbon.
