When trying to come up with a good holiday recipe I looked at the theme for this month's What's Baking which is hosted by Carrie of Carrie's Sweet Life. The theme for December is peppermint. When I think peppermint dessert I often think of chocolate and peppermint. This was perfect because I still had 4 cookie trays to make and each one comes with 6 homemade candies. What could be better then chocolate peppermint candy?
I saw this recipe a few weeks ago and couldn't wait to try it. It seemed easy to make and I liked the individual serving size. The fudge was smooth and melted in my mouth. The original recipe called for peppermint extract but I didn't have any. I did have peppermint schnapps which I substituted in and it ended up giving the chocolate a strong and delicious peppermint taste.
These looked great on my cookie trays. I put them in holiday mini muffin liners and placed them on top of the cookies. They would work well at a holiday party as well since you can pick them up and pop them in your mouth.

3. Remove the chocolate from the heat and stir in the vanilla and peppermint.
4. Using a tablespoon place a scoop of the fudge into each paper line mini muffin cup. Sprinkle with the crushed candy canes.
