Chocolate Dipped Candy Canes

December 17, 2011 by Ruthie

I went to a demonstration class the other night, these Chocolate Dipped Candy Canes were one of the things that were made. They’re a fun idea for cocoa stirring stick or yummy all by themselves! I thought they were a cute and fun idea for my girls to give their friends. We hurried and whipped up some Chocolate Dipped Candy Canes when I got home so they could take them to school the next day! We wrapped them in a small cellophane bag and tied it with a bow. Gifted the Chocolate dipped Candy Canes with an individual packet of hot chocolate. I thought I’d share this cute idea for neighbors, friends, or co-workers…

Chocolate Dipped Candy Canes

These Chocolate Dipped Candy Canes would be a really fun Christmas Eve activity to keep excited kids entertained!! I’m sure Santa would like one with his Hot Chocolate, too!! Many thanks to Angie Hodes for this cute idea. They were a hit with our family and friends : )
