The Story & Intro
If there’s one treat that instantly transports me into holiday mode, it’s White Chocolate Drizzle Peppermint Pops. The first time I made them, I remember standing in my kitchen with Christmas music humming in the background, little peppermint shards flying everywhere as I crushed them way too enthusiastically. My countertops looked like a candy cane blizzard but oh, the magic that came out of that mess! These cute pops are sweet, fresh, and whimsical, and they feel like a winter celebration you can hold in your hand.
And before we dive deeper, you know I always love to share a piece of my heart with every recipe I make.
Bonjour my friends! 👋 I’m Lacamorea, a 31-year-old French girl who traded the cobblestone streets of Paris for the cozy kitchens of America 🇫🇷➡️🇺🇸. Ever since I could reach the countertop, I’ve been whisking, stirring, and sneaking tastes of cake batter when no one was looking 🍰😋. Cooking isn’t just my passion it’s my love language, my therapy, and my favorite way to make people smile.
So when the holidays come around, and friends drop by, or when I’m craving something sweet but playful, these White Chocolate Drizzle Peppermint Pops become my go-to. They’re effortless, cute, and full of peppermint sparkle. They also make the perfect DIY gifts just wrap them in little cellophane bags, tie a ribbon, and voilà! Instant holiday cheer.
I love recipes that let creativity lead the way. Want thicker pops? Add more chocolate. Want extra crunch? Load them with peppermint bits. Want them pink? Add a touch of food coloring and swirl away. Every batch of White Chocolate Drizzle Peppermint Pops feels like a tiny art project edible, festive, and undeniably joyful.
And between us? Sometimes I make them just for myself, enjoying one with a warm cup of cocoa under a blanket. They taste like winter coziness and childhood gleefully wrapped into one shiny pop. Today, I’ll show you exactly how to make them beautifully, creatively, and with the warmth that every kitchen deserves.
⏱️ Time
- Prep: 10 minutes
- Chill: 20 minutes
- Total: 30 minutes
🛒 Ingredients
You’ll need:
- 2 cups white chocolate chips (or high-quality white melting wafers)
- ½ teaspoon peppermint extract (optional for extra minty flair)
- 6–8 candy canes, crushed into small pieces
- Lollipop sticks
- ¼ cup white chocolate (extra, for drizzling)
- Optional: red or pink food coloring for marbled pops
👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1 — Melt the white chocolate
Place your white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each round until silky smooth. If you prefer a stovetop method, use a double boiler for extra control. Stir in the peppermint extract if using.
Step 2 — Prepare a parchment-lined tray
This keeps your pops from sticking and gives you easy removal once they harden.
Step 3 — Scoop and shape the pops
Drop small spoonfuls of melted white chocolate onto the parchment, forming circular shapes about 2 inches wide. Insert a lollipop stick into each circle and rotate it gently so the chocolate covers it well.
Step 4 — Add peppermint magic
While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle crushed peppermint generously over each pop. Press the pieces lightly so they stick.
Step 5 — Drizzle with more white chocolate
Melt the additional white chocolate and drizzle back and forth over each pop for that gorgeous bakery-style finish. For marbling, swirl in a bit of red food coloring with a toothpick.
Step 6 — Let them chill
Place the tray in the fridge for 20 minutes or until firm.
