      Hi Anaya ~ the Milk Chocolate will definitely change the flavor. If you can’t find Dark Chocolate, maybe try Chocolate Fudge? That flavor works really well with this recipe, too. 🙂 Hope that helps!!

    Could you use smashed up candy canes instead of peppermint chips? They are something we don’t get in New Zealand.

      Hi Julie ~ these peppermint chips are softer… almost more like a chocolate. If using smashed up candy canes, here’s a different recipe that I’d suggest:
