Expert Tips

To keep candies from sticking together as you cut them, sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar over the cutting board. As you cut the candies, toss them with the sugar.

Vanilla or chocolate instant pudding and pie filling mix can be used instead of the white chocolate pudding mix.

Is white chocolate actually "white", because in the picture it shows a chocolate colored pudding in the poke. I like using the chocolate pudding. Also, for those having a hard time "crushing" the candies, I think they are using hard peppermint candies and not peppermint patties, which are very easy to cut into bits. Andes mint bits are also very good. At Christmas they come in red and white.
