Description

A delightful and creamy candy that combines white chocolate and festive peppermint for a perfect Christmas treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups white chocolate melting wafers or almond bark
  • 2 cups pastel pink and pastel green candy melts
  • 12 teaspoons peppermint extract (optional, to taste)
  • Red sanding sugar or finely crushed red sprinkles
  • Optional: 1 drop red oil-based coloring mixed with a bit of melted white chocolate (for splatter design)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the molds: Make sure silicone flower molds are clean and dry. Add a pinch of red sanding sugar to some cavities for speckled bottoms. ⏱️ Duration: 2 minutes
  2. Melt the white chocolate: Microwave in 20–30 second intervals until smooth. Stir in ½ teaspoon peppermint extract if desired. ⏱️ Duration: 2 minutes
  3. Melt the pink and green coatings: Melt each color in separate bowls, adding a tiny drop of extract if you want consistent flavor. ⏱️ Duration: 3 minutes
  4. Fill the molds: Spoon or pipe chocolate into each mold. Tap gently to remove air bubbles and smooth the tops. ⏱️ Duration: 3 minutes
  5. Add speckles (optional): Lightly dust tops with fine red sprinkles or flick colored chocolate for a splatter effect. ⏱️ Duration: 1 minute
  6. Chill: Refrigerate 15–20 minutes until completely set. ⏱️ Duration: 20 minutes
  7. Unmold: Gently pop each blossom out of the silicone mold — they should come out glossy and perfect. ⏱️ Duration: 1 minute

Notes

  • Make sure to use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
