Microwave Candy Cane Chocolate

[TryThaiFooood]

Do you think some assorted chocolate would go well with this? like white chocolate mixed with milk and dark?

[kooktocook]

@TryThaiFooood Yes, certainly. However, not all chocolate works well in the microwave. I would suggest trying a double boiler to melt the variable chocolate. I have prepared with white chocolate this way. Also, variable pepermint candy can be used instead of the canes. Very yum! KtC

[Spana06]

What a cool idea! :D im trying this one day

[mehquig]

I often wish I weren't diabetic *sigh*

[anmoose]

I'm not a candy person myself, but I know durned good and well that if I whip up a batch of this and set a tray on the coffee table, it won't last through a day. LOL

[kooktocook]

@anmoose I enjoy some sweets but not all. The chocolate gets me here though. This lasted but a few hours (kids love it for certain). I did have my fair share though.

Thanks Moosie. All the best to you and Merry Christmas. KtC

[psywarteam]

Awesome and easy thanks

[kooktocook]

@psywarteam Tasty too :) Thank you! KtC

[culinarymajik]

OMG -- So simple and delicious looking! My mind is coming up with variations as I type! Thanks and Merry Christmas!!

[kooktocook]

@culinarymajik There are a few ways to make this. Any hard candy works as well as variable nuts. Different chocolate too. Thank you! Merry Christmas! KtC

[klavender87]

wow, I made this with using white chocolate instead!

[kooktocook]

@klavender87 mmmmmmmm I have tossed a few almonds in there at times. I have tried it with the white chocolate. Just yummy! Thanks for sharing. KtC

[mrbr549]

Simple and looks delicious! I'm not a big fan of candy canes, but I know someone who is. I'll bet this would be good while still melted to spoon over some ice cream for a different holiday dessert. Thanks so much for all the work you put into your channel to make cooking fun again. Merry Christmas to you and your Lady Kook!

[kooktocook]

@mrbr549 I'm not a big candy person either but their is a few around here. I enjoyed some of this, quite tasty with the semi-sweet chocolate as it had a bit of bitter to it. Also, a good easy treat to share.

Thank you for your thoughts I appreciate it very much. Merry Christmas. KtC

[Jordcuk]

[koongienoob]

could be a easier way to make brownies

[kooktocook]

@koongienoob Who said brownies? lol

I have the wife's (Lady Kook) recipe posted for the MV.

see Lady Kook's Microwave Brownies Episode 116

[koongienoob]

@kooktocook i said it COULD cause im thinking getting choco cake then put it around it lol yes i havea big imagination :D

[kooktocook]

@koongienoob lol I get it now. I am slow at some things. It would be an interesting combo. cheers! KtC

[NekoKamiko]

it sucks that you cant buy this chocolate chips for melting in germany

[kooktocook]

@NekoKamiko Any milk chocolate will do. There are many in Germany. Also, there is baking chocolate available. It will have to be melted in a double boiler though not the MV. Good luck, cheers! KtC

[bowhunter2439]

Minty chocolate .....very nice.....I may just keep it melted and drink it from a nice chrismas glass ......lol.....cheers kook , Merry Cristmas to you and your family and a very happy new year.....

Bow D and family

[kooktocook]

@bowhunter2439 Merry Christmas to you and your family Bow-D. All the best! KtC

[snowblazer12]

haha this looks like something i would have made while stoned:)

[kooktocook]

@snowblazer12 I understand! :D

[robertgisthebest]

I wish i had seen this before i emptied out my chocolate fountain yesterday lol, i will have to remelt the chocolate and try this recipe out.

[kooktocook]

@robertgisthebest A great idea for that leftover chocolate. You can also mix it up with variable mint candy for variation. cheers, KtC

[Texa41]

I am so making this, even though I don't own a microwave. I love chocolate and peppermint together! Merry Christmas to you and Lady Kook!!! :D

[kooktocook]

@Texa41 The combo certainly is a 'love fest' (did I just say that, how old am I? lol) A double boiler is ideally used (I used it in the previous video). Merry Christmas to you Susan and your family. KtC

[jessicastarr9764]

I always have extra candy canes after christmas,now i know what to do with them.Thanks KTC.

[kooktocook]

@jessicastarr9764 Hello Jessica. We do too although I can't seem to ever open one without breaking them though. Subsequently, I have more than I need for this recipe lol.

All the best, Merry Christmas! KtC

[shybluebonnet]

Are you married? Will that scorch the chocolate if it's in the microwave???

[kooktocook]

@shybluebonnet Lady Kook is my better half. The chocolate wil burn if nuked to high or long. Small bursts for a few sends and stirring will monitor any over cooking. A double boiler (pan on top of boiling water works ideally). The MV is less mess and easier. cheers! KtC

[yoyomax12]

Simple and easy!

Do you have a silpa silicone mat? I don't know how often you bake but they are sooooo worth it. I absolutely adore mine.

[kooktocook]

@yoyomax12 Hi Tammy! I have used them and I should get a couple more. Certainly would have made it a bit easier. Thanks for sharing your tip. All the best to you and family, Merry Christmas! KtC
