Candy Recipes

Peppermint Cherry Wafers

16 ounces vanilla commercial candy melt
1/4 cup Kirsch
2/3 cup finely ground peppermint candy stick
8 ounces vanilla commercial candy melt

In medium bowl, melt 16 ounces candy. Mix in Kirsch, a few drops of red food coloring and the crushed peppermint. Drop onto wax paper by scant teaspoons. Candies will flatten into wafers. Freeze until set.

Melt 8 ounces of the candy in a shallow bowl. Dip the bottoms of the wafers into the chocolate and let dry on wax paper. When all bottoms are coated, reheat the leftover candy melt and drizzle over the tops.

Sprinkle with extra crushed candy cane if desired.
