Can I use a different chocolate?

Absolutely! You can use dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and even some mint chocolate! There’s no rules when it comes to using chocolate!

Any type of chocolate listed above can work well with the peppermint candies and cherries. Consider making a few different types. Not only does this give you a nice selection of chocolates but they will also look very nice on your table!

Can I use a different alcohol?

Of course! Although we LOVE peppermint schnapps you can use other types of alcohol for your cherries. You can stick with a peppermint one or go with something else altogether.

If you are looking for another option, Vodka works very well and has many varieties that you can switch it up with. You can stick with the classic Vodka Peppermint or you can try other types.

Vanilla vodka, birthday cake, or even cotton candy would be fun and would work very well!

Have some fun experimenting and enjoy your tasty creations!
