Ooh, that sounds good! I'll keep an eye out in case there's somewhere I can get candy canes around here. (Ho Chi Minh City doesn't sell a ton of Christmas candy.)
I don't know if it has to be crushed candy canes, maybe a wee bit of peppermint essence works too?
As for how many grams things are, er... Scales? Or measuring spoons? I made truffles like this yesterday, and the chocolate I bought was in a block of 250 grams, and the peppermint candies came in a bag of 140 grams, so I just added a bit more cream and went with that. The weight is usually written out in grams on all packaged foodstuffs here in Sweden, don't know how it is elsewhere.
Ooh, would never have thought of crushing candy canes!
Just to confirm, a decilitre is 100ml, yes? I'm unfamiliar with the term (we don't use it in the UK), and I've googled but for reasons of translation, I wanted to make sure :)
I hear crushed candy canes is a nice additive to hot chocolate, chocolate cake, and anything else with chocolate (cupcake sprinkles?), so having a jar of that ready at all times in the winter could be a good idea. ;)

1 decilitre = 100 millilitre, yes.
