Description

Directions

• Prepare a tray with parchment paper and set aside.
• Set the candy canes on the tray -- two together to form hearts all over the tray.
• Melt the white chocolate in the microwave in bursts of 15 seconds stirring in between each burst for 10-15 seconds. Patiently melting the chocolate will make sure it doesnt burn!
• If needed add the oil to slightly thin the chocolate. Add very slowly and just if the chocolate is too thick.
• Pour the chocolate into a plastic bag and snip off the tip with scissors.
• Pipe the melted chocolate into the centers of the candy cane treats.
• Gently wiggle the candy canes to get the chocolate smooth.
• Sprinkle immediately with sprinkles.
• Let set.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Do not preheat using convection settings.**
• Line a tray with parchment paper and place the pretzels on the tray.
• Unwrap the hugs or kisses and place on top of the pretzels.
• Bake for 3-4 minutes or until the hugs/kisses are soft but not melted.
• Press an M&M candy into the center of the hugs and kisses right out of the oven.
• Allow the chocolate to harden.
• Prepare a miniature muffin tin by lining with mini muffin papers.
• Pulse the sandwich cookies in a blender or food processor until they resemble fine crumbs. You do not need to separate the cookie from the creme.
• Beat the crumbs with 4 ounces of room temperature cream cheese until a thick mixture forms.
• Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.
• Starting with 1 bag, melt all of the baking chips in a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave in bursts of 15 seconds stirring in between each burst for 10-15 seconds.
• Spoon melted chocolate into the bottom of the prepared muffin tins -- not a lot here.
• Allow to set completely. (If you dont work fast, the Andes mints harden quickly -- thats okay, just pop them in the microwave for another 15 seconds or so)
• Remove the dough from the fridge and form into small balls. Flatten those balls to thin and completely FLAT disks and place on top of the set chocolate.
• Spoon more melted chocolate to cover the disk of chocolate.
• Add sprinkles to the top if desired.
• Allow to set at room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.**
• Line a tray with parchment paper and place the pretzels on the tray.
• Unwrap the rolos and place on top of the pretzels.
• Bake for 3-4 minutes or until the rolos are soft but not melted.
• Press a pecan into the center of the hugs and kisses right out of the oven.
• Allow the chocolate to harden.
