Dark Layer

- Pour on a parchment paper lined dish or baking sheet. Spread a little bit to form about 10 inches diameter circle. If using cookie cutters, set them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and spoon a little of the melted chocolate into each. Use a toothpick or other small pointed utensil to push the chocolate into the corners of each cookie cutter. If using silicone mini muffin cups, use about 48 and divide the chocolate between them.
- Freeze the chocolate layer for at least 30 minutes to set.
White Layer

- Divide the mixture among the cookie cutters or muffin cups or spread over the chocolate layer in the pan.
- Freeze about 10 to 20 minutes, until just starting to set, then sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies, if using.
- Return to the freezer until completely set, another 20 minutes or so. Then Enjoy!
