it's begining to smell a lot like Christmas.....

especially in my kitchen, if Christmas smells like peppermint to you.

I should have double bagged the candy canes. really. maybe even triple bagged them.  because when I began to smack them to crush them, the bag split, and candy canes went flying all over the kitchen. 
These lovely treats were so simple to make, thanks to the tutorial on "Baked by Rachael"

They came out a little thick, but that's my inexperience. If you have to get one of the hearts, be careful. The second candy cane that forms the heart was supposed to show through the dark chocolate, and mostly doesn't!
