Step 1 Combine the dry ingredients and peppermint essence in a mixing bowl.
Step 2 Melt the Copha in a microwave on High or in a saucepan. Cool slightly then pour onto dry ingredients and mix well. Press 1-2 tablespoons of mixture into a greased 24- hole mini muffin tin. Freeze for 5 minutes to firm.
Step 3 Remove white Christmas from tin. Repeat with the remaining mixture to make 48.
Step 4 Place the treats onto a baking paper lined tray. Melt extra Copha and the chocolate in a microwave on High. Stir to combine. Use a teaspoon to drizzle over the white Christmas treats to represent custard on a pudding. Working quickly, before the chocolate mixture sets, decorate with crushed candy cane, jelly beans or edible Christmas decorations.
NOTE Candy canes and edible Christmas decorations are available during the festive season from the baking aisle of large supermarkets and speciality cake decorating stores.
