- In a microwave-safe bowl, add white chocolate chips, and microwave on MED power (50%) for 20-30 second intervals for the first minute, stirring after each cooking interval.
- If needed, microwave in 15 second intervals, stirring after each microwave interval, until chips are JUST melted.
- Spread melted white chocolate onto prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
- Sprinkle with crushed candy canes, m&m's and sprinkles as desired.
- Let sit on the counter for about an hour or two, or until set and firm. Break into pieces.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Don't cook on full power - if you choose to microwave your chocolate (which is what I normally do), set your microwave to half power (or medium). This lessens the chance of the chocolate heating too quickly and "seizing".
- Heat slowly - melt the chocolate in 20-30 second intervals for the first minute, then in 15 second intervals after that, stirring after each cooking interval. It takes longer, but trust me, it's worth it.
- Add a bit of oil - one of my favorite tricks is to add a little bit (about a tablespoon or so) of vegetable oil to the chocolate before melting. I don't think I've ever had seized or scorched chocolate when following the microwave tips and this one!
