Ingredients You'll Need
1. Candy Canes
To create the classic candy cane shape, you'll need to start with some regular-sized candy canes. You can choose to use traditional red and white candy canes, or get creative and use different colors and flavors to make your Christmas candy sticks truly unique.
2. Chocolate Chips
Melted chocolate chips will serve as the base for your candy sticks. You can use any type of chocolate you prefer, such as dark, milk, or white chocolate. For an extra festive touch, you can even use peppermint-flavored chocolate chips.
3. Toppings
This is where you can get creative and add your own personal touch to the candy sticks. Some popular toppings include crushed peppermint candies, sprinkles, nuts, or even crushed cookies. Choose your favorite toppings or mix and match for a variety of flavors and textures.
Instructions
1. Prepare the Candy Canes
First, unwrap the candy canes and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Make sure they are evenly spaced and that the curved part of the candy cane is facing up.
2. Melt the Chocolate
Using a double boiler or the microwave, melt the chocolate chips until smooth and creamy. If using the microwave, be sure to stir the chocolate every 30 seconds to prevent burning.
3. Dip the Candy Canes
Carefully dip each candy cane into the melted chocolate, making sure to cover the entire curved part. Use a spoon or spatula to help spread the chocolate evenly.
4. Add Toppings
While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle your chosen toppings onto the candy canes. You can also drizzle additional melted chocolate on top for more decoration.
5. Let Them Set
Place the candy canes back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and let them set in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.
6. Enjoy!
Once the chocolate has set, your Christmas candy sticks are ready to be enjoyed! You can wrap them in clear plastic bags and tie them with a festive ribbon for a cute and tasty gift, or simply enjoy them as a sweet holiday treat.
Now that you have the recipe for these delicious candy sticks, go ahead and give them a try. Your friends and family will surely be impressed with your homemade treats! Happy holidays and happy candy-making!
