  1. Cover the cookie sheets with waxed paper. Unwrap and place peppermint candies in food storage bag. Crush the candies with rolling pin. Place crushed candy in a medium size bowl.

Continue microwaving at 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds, until chocolate is melted and smooth. Important Note: Do Not over-heat the chocolate. Add 5 or 6 peppermint candy drops to each cup of chocolate and mix thoroughly. Important Note: If you wish to thin the chocolate simply stir in thoroughly 1 teaspoon solid shortening per cup of chocolate chips. Dip plastic spoons in melted chocolate to cover the bowl of the spoon. Important Note: If the chocolate thickens in the measuring cup, return it to the microwave for 30 seconds at 50% power. Stir gently. Immediately press the chocolate covered spoon into the crushed peppermint candy, holding the spoon at a diagonal. Place the spoon on the wax covered cookie sheet and let cool. Repeat the entire process with second cup of chocolate chips. Let the spoons cool thoroughly before wrapping individually with cellophane paper and a ribbon.
