Candy Canes
Did you know that candy canes have been around for more than 300 years? Originally they were just plain white and straight sticks. The first historical reference to the cane shape of the candy dates back to 1670 when a choirmaster in Germany bent the sugar sticks into canes to represent a shepherds staff.

These are adorable! They would be really good for that country look on a Christmas tree, or to put two crossed on top of a package!

I love candy canes and they make great decorations, especially on your dining room table! Since Brian and I never eat them, I use the same ones over and over. I do buy one box every year because my son likes them. He knows to ask me which ones I just bought. Love your "diet" version. Very cute!
They look fantastic, What do you wrap to get the shape? Are you planning on selling them? Your show must be soon? are you stocking up...
Hugs, antonella :-)

Those are such cute candy canes and no we did not know the idea was ancient. Hope you have a great week end.
Making nonedible candy canes is an act of pure wickedness!
