- Avoid using too much peppermint extract as it can overpower the other flavors.
- Be careful not to crush the candy canes too fine, as you want to have some small pieces for added texture.
- Make sure to cool the mixture completely before breaking it apart, so the chocolate can set properly.
- Avoid storing the Peppermint Buddies in a warm place, as the chocolate may melt and lose its crunchiness.
