Smooth white chocolate and refreshing peppermint combine in a candy-striped confection that looks and tastes like the holidays.
1. Microwave chocolate chips in large microwavable bowl on HIGH for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until almost melted, stirring after 1 minute. Stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is smooth. Stir in peppermint extract.
2. Spread on large foil-lined baking sheet to 1/4-inch thickness. Add food color, drop by drop, over mixture. Using a wooden skewer, swirl color through chocolate. Sprinkle with crushed candies, pressing lightly into chocolate with spatula.
3. Refrigerate about 10 minutes or until firm. Break into irregular pieces to serve. Store in covered container at cool room temperature or in refrigerator up to 5 days.
Test Kitchen Tips:
Substitute 12 ounces white baking chocolate, coarsely chopped, for the white chocolate chips.
Before sprinkling on the peppermint candies, sift the crushed candies through a fine strainer to remove any ultrafine, dustlike pieces.

"I get asked to make this year after year for Christmas and sometimes Thanksgiving. Everyone really likes it as a dessert after big family meals because it's so light & refreshing. When a past boyfriend took me to his family's Christmas dinner, I was asked back "Even if you stop dating our boy" since it was such a hit!" — Firebyrd
