Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small saucepan, gently heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  2. Pour the hot cream over the chopped white chocolate in a mixing bowl. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes until the chocolate softens.
  3. Stir in the unsalted butter and peppermint extract into the ganache until fully combined and glossy. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until firm.
  4. Roll the ganache into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for about 15 minutes.
  5. Melt the remaining white chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments until fully melted and glossy.
  6. Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring they are completely coated. Tap off excess chocolate.
  7. Sprinkle crushed candy canes over the dipped truffles while the coating is still wet.
  8. Refrigerate until the chocolate coating is fully set, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter or gift box when set.
