1. Mix together the semi-sweet chocolate chips and the white chips in a small bowl, set aside.
2. Place peppermint candies in a zip lock bag and crush with a rolling pin.
3. Add the layers down evenly into a ½ pint wide neck canning jar, starting with the sugar and ending with the chocolate chip mix
