For the best results, use high-quality chocolate. Cheaper chocolate can sometimes seize or not melt smoothly. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate when melting. Overheated chocolate can become grainy. Ensure the milk chocolate layer is fully set before adding the white chocolate layer to prevent them from mixing. For a more intense peppermint flavor, you can add a few drops of peppermint oil in addition to the extract. Be careful, as peppermint oil is very potent.
