Last year I made some Chocolate Peppermint Bark Snowflakes for our Christmas Cookie Exchange. They were a big hit and I decided to re-make the recipe this year to replace the peppermint extract with peppermint essential oils.
- 1 cup white melting wafers
- 1 cup dark melting wafers

- 2 candy canes or about 8 peppermints smashed (put it in a ziplock bag to control mess)
- 1 silicone snowflake mold (affiliate link)
Step 1: Microwave the dark chocolate chips. I did mine in batches of 18 snowflakes. I microwaved 3 cups of Ghirardelli wafer chips on 50% power for 3 minutes, stirring each minute. You can melt these over a double boiler as well if you prefer.
Step 2: Stir in 2-4 drops Young Living Peppermint essential oil into the dark chocolate. Pour into the mold about 1/4 inch thick. Be careful not to spill any of the chocolate onto the sides while pouring. Place in refrigerator to set approximately 30-60 minutes. Remove from refrigerator for next steps.
Step 4: Stir in 2-4 drops Young Living Peppermint essential oil into the white chocolate. Pour into the mold over the set, dark chocolate about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 5: Sprinkle smashed candy cane pieces on top. Place in refrigerator to set approximately 30-60 minutes.
Step 6: Remove from molds. They should just pop right out.
