Ingredients
Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth.
-
Stir in the peppermint extract until well combined.
-
Add the crushed candy canes to the melted chocolate mixture and mix until evenly distributed.
-
Divide the mixture into two portions. Add green food coloring to one portion and mix until you achieve the desired shade of green.
-
Take a spoonful of the green mixture and place it on the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a wreath form. Repeat with the remaining green mixture to create more wreaths.
-
Chill the wreaths in the refrigerator until they are set, about 15-20 minutes.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the red candy melts according to the package instructions.
-
Carefully drizzle the melted red candy over the chilled wreaths to create a ribbon effect.
-
Sprinkle holiday sprinkles over the wreaths while the red candy is still wet, allowing them to stick.

Once fully set, remove the wreaths from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature before serving.
