Are you using white chocolate chips or bar chocolate? Finding a good white chocolate in bar form is hard (aside from buying super-expensive Lindt bars). Trader Joe's has excellent dark/milk/semisweet "Pound Plus" bars but no white chocolate bars. (They do have mini peanut butter cups though!) Would the reverse order of steps work better? (That is, spreading the white chocolate on top of the crushed peppermint candy and then topping with the chocolate layer.) Julia, I used Merckens white chocolate bar, not chips. You'll get a different effect by pouring the chocolate atop the crunch - it'll be embedded, rather than sitting on top. But if that's the look you're after - go for it! PJH
