1 teaspoon peppermint extract

1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
4 squares (1 ounce each) white chocolate, melted

Before chocolate solidifies, dip ends into remaining 1/2 cup crushed candy canes, or sprinkle crushed candy into chocolate.

Note: To toast nuts, spread in single layer on baking sheet; toast in pre-heated 350 degree oven 8 to 10 minutes or until very lightly browned. Or, place nuts in microwavable dish. Heat at high 1 to 2 minutes or just until light golden brown, stirring nuts every 30 seconds. Allow to stand 3 minutes. The nuts will darken and become more crisp as they cool.
