Christmas Leftovers

Candy Cane Ideas
I am not a fan of candy canes.  I don't buy candy canes, but somehow, we always end up with a lot of them.  I scoured the web on how to get rid of them, and short of the elf throwing them in the garbage, here's some I came up with:

  • Use candy canes as stirring sticks for hot beverages.  Makes a nummy minty cocoa or kick to coffee
  • Add crushed candy canes to vanilla frosting and make cookie sandwiches with purchased cookies or graham crackers.
  • Add crushed candy canes to Rice Krispy treats.
  • Melt some purchased white almond bark and add crushed candy cane pieces. Pour onto waxed paper and chill for instant Candy Cane Bark.
  • Sprinkle crushed candy canes on top of iced cupakes or on top of ice cream sundaes.
  • Layer ice cream and hot fudge sauce with crushed candy canes and top with whipped cream for a peppermint twist treat.
  • Dip the candy canes in chocolate coating, following the directions at Coated Candy Canes
