Tester Jeanne Besser tweaked a recipe from Martha Stewart’s Everyday Food magazine to make a delicious holiday confection.
To make a peppermint treat, increase white chocolate to 3 ounces and add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon pure peppermint extract. Or for a fruity chocolate treat, mix in raspberry or other flavored jam or jelly into the white chocolate.
