Ingredients

  • Marshmallows
  • candy canes Mini Candy Canes work best
  • Chocolate White, dark or milk chocolate all work.

Instructions

  • Break up the candy canes. I placed them into a plastic bag and broke them up with a rubber hammer.
  • Melt the chocolates or candy melts according to the instructions. I prefer to use a double boiler. If you are like me and don't own one don't worry they are easy to make. All you need in a pan and a bowl (glass or metal) to go over it. The bowl should not touch the water. It creates a seal with the bottom pan to trap the steam produced by the simmering water. To use the double boiler, add water to the pan and bring it to a simmer, then place the bowl on top and fill it with whatever you intend to cook or melt. I like it best because you can match the chocolate so you don't overheat it.
