Notes
HOW TO CRUSH CANDY CANES
How to easily crush candy canes? To get small crushed pieces of candy cane, I put them in a Ziplock freezer bag and crush it with the flat side of a meat tenderizer, a rolling pin, a hammer, or a rubber mallet. Put the closed bag on a cutting board and top the bag with a towel. Smash the bag until you reach your desired coarseness.
INGREDIENT VARIATIONS
You can use milk, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate chips
Note: If you don't have a double boiler, get two different size pots. Fill the biggest one half way full with water. Set the little pot inside the bigger pot and you have a double boiler.
