Melt the white chocolate wafers and peppermint extract using one of two methods:A. Double boiler method - heat safe bowl filled with white chocolate wafers and peppermint extract over simmering water. B. Microwave - in a microwave safe bowl heat the melting wafers and peppermint extract for 60 seconds. Stir. Then heat for 30 second increments, stirring between, until melted.

Using a fork dip the Oreos in the melted peppermint white chocolate and flip around until coated. Lift the cookie out of the chocolate with the fork and lightly shake back and forth to smooth the chocolate and get rid of excess.Lay on the parchment lined baking sheet.

Sprinkle the top of the chocolate covered Oreos with the crushed candy canes. Make sure you sprinkle the candy canes on while the chocolate is still wet so it sticks. (kids can totally help with this step!!)
