08 - Pour the melted white chocolate over the set dark chocolate layer and spread evenly using a small offset spatula.
09 - Sprinkle crushed peppermint candies immediately over the white chocolate and press lightly to ensure adherence.
10 - Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes until fully set.
11 - Remove from molds or break into snowflake-shaped pieces. Store in an airtight container in a cool place.
