Steps:

• Melt peppermint kisses and white chocolate chips in microwave, stir to melt. Add frosting, mix well. Add remaining ingredients, mix well. Put into 11x7 or pie plate between pieces of waxed paper, chill overnight.
• To make a double batch, use 3 pie plates. Single batch is better in the 11x7 because it is thinner and then cuts better when it sets up.
• I use Betty Crocker frosting. For some reason you must use the CREAMY variety, but any flavor will do. My friend made some with chocolate frosting, and while it tasted amazing, the appearance left quite a lot to be desired. Okay, let's admit, it looked absolutely horrible.
