Steps:
- Melt the chocolate. Place the peppermint sticks in a heavy, locked plastic bag and crush them fine by whacking and then rolling them with a rolling pin. They should have about the same consistency as crushed ice. When the chocolate is melted, stir in the peppermint oil. Stir in all but 2 tablespoons of the crushed peppermint pieces and spread the mixture out on the cookie sheet, about 1/4-inch thick. It will not fill the pan completely. Sprinkle the reserved peppermint stick over the top. Let set at room temperature until hardened, about 2 hours. (Or, refrigerate for 30 minutes to harden more quickly.) Use your hands to break into pieces. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:
- For perfectly flaky puff pastry, use a butter that has a high fat content (82% or higher). This will help create distinct layers in the pastry.
- When making the peppermint buttercream, be sure to use a high-quality white chocolate. This will ensure that the buttercream is smooth and rich.
- To make the napoleons easier to assemble, chill the puff pastry and buttercream before using. This will help keep the layers intact.
- If you don't have time to make the puff pastry from scratch, you can use store-bought puff pastry sheets. Just be sure to thaw them according to the package directions before using.
- For a fun twist, try adding a layer of raspberry or strawberry jam between the pastry and buttercream layers.
