Here is a recipe for Peppermint Candy. It is really good and looks very festive.

4 cups of white chocolate to 1 cup of crushed
peppermint (candy canes or those round peppermint candies). Heat the white chocolate in a double
boiler. When it is all melted take off stove and stir
in the peppermint. Put wax paper on a cookie sheet
and spread the mix on. Put in refrigerator or freezer
until it hardens. After it hardens, break into bite size
pieces.

If you like that you should try this version:

Christmas Minties

12 peppermint candies
12 double graham crackers
6 squares white almond bark
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
1/4 teaspoon green food coloring
2 squares chocolate almond bark
1 square white almond bark

Crush peppermint candies in Ziploc bag. Lay graham crackers, top side down, into a greased foil lined jelly roll pan, to fit in a single layer.
Melt 6 squares of white almond bark in the microwave on low heat until smooth. Mix in green food coloring and peppermint extract. Pour over crackers and spread evenly. Melt 2 squares of chocolate almond bark, place in Ziploc (I just use a fork) and drizzle in vertical lines over crackers. Do the same with 1 square white almond bark. Use a toothpick to swirl chocolate and white drizzles into a marbleized pattern. Sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies. Chill for about 15 minutes or until firm. Break into irregular pieces.
YUMMY and very festive looking!
