Method
 

Peppermint Crunch
  1. Prepare Your Workspace: Start by clearing a clean, flat workspace and gathering all your ingredients. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the White Chocolate: Melt 1 cup of Ghirardelli white chocolate wafers on medium power in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Coat the Graham Crackers: Dip graham crackers into the melted white chocolate, ensuring they're fully coated. Lift them and allow excess chocolate to drip.
  4. Add the Peppermint Crunch: While the white chocolate is still wet, sprinkle crushed peppermint over the coated graham crackers to add a festive touch.
  5. Allow chocolates to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until firm.
Sweet and Salty Vanilla Butterscotch Swirl Bark
  1. Melt the Vanilla Almond Bark: Melt 1 cup of vanilla almond bark in a bowl in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Swirl in the Butterscotch: Drop dollops of 1 cup of melted butterscotch chips onto the melted vanilla almond bark and swirl together.
  3. Sprinkle pretzels, mixed nuts, and toffee bits generously over the top.
  4. Chill Until Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for about 1 hour, until completely set.
Vanilla Bean Fudge
  1. Prepare the Vanilla Bean Fudge: Melt together 1 cup of white chocolate, 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, and ¼ cup of unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until fully melted and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Mix in the Flavorings: Stir in a pinch of salt, 1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste, and optional walnuts or candied cherries into the mixture.
  4. Pour the fudge mixture into a lined 8x8 inch pan and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until firm.
  5. Once firm, remove from the pan and cut into bite-sized pieces for serving or gifting.
