Candy Cane Hearts

Well, paint my door red & call me the peppermint queen.  By golly, I’ve found a way to keep peppermint around just a little bit longer!  Just to clarify, I’ve saw this a couple of years ago, but I’ve never tried it until the other day.  Make these Candy Cane Hearts using leftover or clearance candy canes!
 

I feel like this is more of a supply list, than a recipe –
But before I go any further…RUN! to your store & snatch up those mini candy canes before they get gone!  At 70% off they wont be around much longer.  Hurry.  My box of 30 cost me .50 cents.  Buy some extras too.  Because those little suckers break easily!

Undoubtedly, everyone will want one of these Candy Cane Hearts to eat! They’re so cute and perfect to save for Valentine’s Day handouts.

Here’s the supply list to make these adorable Candy Cane Hearts:

*Candy cane minis.  unwrap & place in heart shape on wax paper

*Lollipop sticks (Wilton’s)

*Wilton’s pink Chocolate Melts. Melt per directions on the package.   umm, hello Mr. Wilton, I’m helping your retirement fund grow here on my blog – how about you & I have a cuppa coffee one day & chat  😉

*note – you will not have to use a lot of melts, I just melted as I went along today.*

*(use an ice tea spoon to spread the chocolate in your hearts)

*Sprinkles

*allow time to dry & firm

There you have it.  I dare ya not to smile with all the visions of pink that will be floating around in your kitchen.      I always say bring on the pink right after Christmas, because the power of pink fades those ole’ Winter blues away!

  8. Super cute! My husband loves peppermints, and I just picked up three boxes of the minis at Target the other day (90% off at 25¢ a box). Wonder if he’d like these lollies? 😉
