Don't let the name deter you from making this oh-so easy "candy." No brainpower OR candy thermometer required to make this seriously minty treat!
Ingredients
  • About 15 candy cane Oreos or peppermint Joe-Joe's, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup peppermint M&M's
  • 1 cup coarsely crushed pretzels
  • 1 cup peppermint marshmallows
  • ¾ cup roughly chopped peppermint bark squares
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
  • ½ pkg (about 6 squares) vanilla Candiquik or almond bark
Instructions
  1. First, line a flat work space generously with wax paper. Second, in a large bowl, combine the chopped cookies, M&M's, pretzels, marshmallows, chopped peppermint bark and ONE cup of chocolate chips gently.
  2. Melt the white candy coating according to package directions until smooth. Pour over the bowl of candy and, working quickly, being tossing together until all the candy has been coated with the white chocolate.
  3. Spread the mixture onto the wax papered surface in an even layer. Meanwhile, microwave the remaining one cup of chocolate chips until smooth (you may want to add a teaspoon or so of oil to keep it smooth) and drizzle the chocolate over the candy.
  4. Allow the candy to set and harden, about 20 minutes, before breaking into pieces to serve. This can be stored airtight up to a week or more, and is great for gift-giving!!
