I liked these a lot. They came together easily, although I burned two lots of coconut before getting it right. However that's my flaw not yours. I melted the chocolate in the microwave. Crushing the candy canes was difficult, and slightly messy. I just chopped them roughly after a while. They wouldn't cut straight, but I suspect that was because of my chunky peppermint. Overall, really tasty, and easy.
