Candy canes..candy canes..what to do with candy canes? During Christmas, my kids get candy canes from almost everybody..teachers, classmates, school bus drivers, neighbors, church and friends. Since I have two kids who go to school now...our supply was just doubled.
I used to just throw them away after they have eaten a piece or two. But this time I thought of making making something fun and different. Again..with the help of my kids. :)
I actually loved making these because its soooo easy. There is no baking involved. Not to mention that you don't need much ingredients! I call it the B&W PEPPERMINT STICKS!
So lets start!
Ingredients:
2 cups chocolate (semi-sweet) morsels
2 cups white chocolate morsels
*1/2 tsp peppermint extract
*2 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 cup crushed candy canes
* divide into 2
Directions:
Microwave chocolate morsels mixed with vegetable oil 30 minutes at a time until it melts. Once smooth and melted add the extract. Put the chocolate on a mold (you may even use ice cube tray but any silicone mold is preferred) and sprinkle with some crushed candy canes. Cool in the fridge for at least half an hour.
Repeat the same directions using the white morsels and pour melted morsels on top of the cooled ones you have previously made. Sprinkle with remaining candy canes and cool. After half an hour you peppermint sticks are ready! Yum! We all loved it!
How about you? What do you do with your extra candy canes?
