One of my guilty indulgences during the holiday season is Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark Chocolate Squares. I've been thinking about making some from scratch this year with my boys. While browsing the net for recipes, I came across pictures of peppermint bark but instead of the usual broken pieces, they were shaped like snowflakes! Now, of course, that got my soapy wheels turning. However, instead of making soap, I though these would be extra cute as wax tarts.
How delicious! I'll have to remind myself that these are for smelling NOT for eating ;0)
Instead of blending the peppermint and chocolate fragrance oils together, I thought it would be cool to allow the chocolate to start filling the room, then have the mint slowly tip-toe in.
So, the base is a super yummy hot chocolate scent, with a white layer of peppermint topped with real crushed candy canes and glitter. Now, all I have to do is tackle the edible version!
Kia, I think these are so pretty!! I love your creativity.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sarah!
DeleteGorgeous. And yes, they do look edible! Are they big? I have a snowflake mold that might be the same as that. I made chocolate-peppermint snowflakes with crushed candy cane sprinkles a few years ago and everyone loved them. I wanted to try more with different flavors (nuts, etc.) but never did get around to it.

Hi Deb! This is most likely the same mold. I searched the web for different kinds of snowflake molds and there weren't that many. These are about the size of my palm. I can't wait to try edible versions. Variations with nuts and heath crumbles and caramel and ... I feel like I gained 20 lbs. just thinking about the possibilities, LOL!
DeleteOoooh, Heath crumbles! Good idea! I think I really need to make the effort this year. =)
