I loved this recipe. It was very easy to make and hardly needed any chilling. I used the mint extract instead of peppermint as someone suggested 'cause that was what I had and every one loved them including all the children in my Primary class at church. I also found that they seem to flatten, so I made skinnier ropes and that didn't happen. They came out just like the picture. But I noticed that no one care. They were so-o goo-od!!!!!

Just made these for a family party. They were a hit. They were very easy to make and chilling the dough only makes it easier to work with. I made the dough as written, but I changed the number of them. I rolled out ~24 canes, and after baking them, I cut them in half, creating shorter canes.

The taste is good but the cookies flattened out on me. Definitely don't look like the picture

for the lady who had trouble crushing the peppermint candy. You can buy this already crushed. Look for it near the chocolate chips in the baking aisle.

I recommend using peppermint extract not mint extract. I find mint extract to taste like mouthwash.

I tried this on a very rainy day. Perfection! I'm making more today.

Yummy and so pretty. I think I'll try loosely braiding them next time, using all three colors.

My kids love these, and the dough was super easy to work with. I ended up cutting them in half after they baked and making about 2-3" long sticks with about 1/3 of them dipped in the white chocolate and sprinkled with peppermint. The hardest part was crushing the peppermints!
