Chocolate Dipped Peppermint Sticks


  • Author: Christine
  • Total Time: 25 min.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Peppermint Sticks:

  • 12 large peppermint sticks (candy canes)

For the Chocolate Coating:

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or milk chocolate for a sweeter option)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for smooth melting)

For the Toppings (Optional):

  • Crushed peppermint candy or candy cane pieces
  • Sprinkles (holiday-themed or just festive)
  • Chopped nuts (like crushed almonds or pecans)

Instructions

Prepare the Peppermint Sticks

  1. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with vegetable oil. Heat in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
  2. Dip the Peppermint Sticks: Hold each peppermint stick by the curved end and dip it into the melted chocolate, covering about half of the stick. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
  3. Add Toppings: While the chocolate is still wet, roll or sprinkle crushed peppermint candy, sprinkles, or nuts onto the chocolate-coated part of the stick.
  4. Chill: Place the dipped peppermint sticks onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens completely.
