What to do with Candy Canes! 9 ideas on how to use Candy Canes 
This first one is a tutorial on chocolate dipped candy canes. If you have extra chocolate left over from the Oreo Cookie tutorial this will be perfect for you!
1. Break your candy cane right before it curves. Make sure to take off the plastic!
2. Dip the broken side into the chocolate. I just used white chocolate candy and melted it in the microwave…thanks Jamie for the info
3. Add sprinkles while the chocolate is still warm. Use wax paper to lay them on or spray a plate with PAM. I found out they are ‘delicate’ and will break easy. So use an easy off method! Stick them in the fridge until the chocolate gets hard…just a couple minutes.
Put a cute bow and enjoy or deliver!
