in a saucepan with 150ml water and place over a low heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved. (We recommend adult supervision during this stage.) Reduce heat to medium and cook without stirring until mixture turns a light caramel colour. Remove from heat, add one teaspoon of peppermint essence and swirl it through.

Step 3

Pour onto the baking sheet and leave for 15 minutes to harden. Break into shards and place in a food processor. Process until it looks like fine sand. Place the chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. When it has melted, stir in the coconut, remaining peppermint essence and the peppermint dust.

Step 4

Line a baking tray with baking paper, then pour the mixture onto the tray and spread out to a rough 20 x 25cm rectangle. Use a 3cm pastry cutter to make indentations in the mixture. Refrigerate for one hour to harden. Remove from fridge and use the cutter again to press out the marked circles.

Step 5

Package the peppermint crisps in boxes and give to friends as gifts. (Break up any leftover chocolate and fold through softened ice-cream for a delicious dessert.)
