  4. Set crushed candy aside.
  5. Microwave white chips in medium, uncovered, bowl for about 1 minute; stir.

  9. Spread melted white chips on prepared baking sheet.
  10. Let stand for 2 - 5 minutes.
  11. Don't let the white chocolate sit too long or the dark chocolate will not stick to it very well and the finished product will taste good but not be as pretty.

  13. The chips may still hold there shape but should smooth when stirred.
  14. If needed, microwave an additional 10 - 15 seconds until chips are melted.
  15. Hold a small to medium strainer over the melted semi-sweet chocolate and pour crushed peppermint candy into strainer.
  16. Shake strainer to release all the smaller peppermint candy pieces; save the larger pieces of candy for sprinkling on top.
  17. Pour melted semi-sweet chocolate on top of melted white chips and spread until desired thickness.
  18. If you want a layered effect spread carefully to not mix the chocolates.
