  • Melt the Semi-Sweet Chocolate: Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  • Coat Muffin Tin: Use a pastry brush or spoon to coat the bottom and sides of a muffin tin with the melted chocolate.
  • Chill: Refrigerate for about 15 minutes until the chocolate sets firmly.
  • Melt the White Chocolate: In a separate bowl, melt the white chocolate chips using the same method as before. Add peppermint extract if desired.
  • Mix in Peppermint Candies: Fold in the crushed peppermint candies into the melted white chocolate.
  • Fill Chocolate Cups: Spoon the peppermint filling into each cup, filling 3/4 full.
  • Top with White Chocolate: Drizzle remaining melted white chocolate over the filling.
  • Garnish: Sprinkle tops with extra crushed peppermint candies and a pinch of sea salt.
  • Final Chill: Return to the refrigerator for another 15 minutes to set completely.
  • Serve: Gently remove cups from the muffin tin and arrange on a serving platter.
