Over 50 Ways to Eat Candy Canes

Christmas is a few, short weeks away, and if you have kids, chances are they will bring home a mountain of candy canes between now and then…

No matter what we do at the holidays, we always seem to end up with boxes and boxes of candy canes when the holidays are long over. They get them at church, from practice, from friends, and tossed randomly in stockings that are hung at their grandma’s house.

To be honest, we don’t eat many if any, and I never know what to do with them so I usually regift them (ha ha!) and use them for DIY’s to pass along to family and friends as the holidays draw near. Nothing wrong with that, right? ;)  Candy canes get stuck in my teeth something fierce and that in itself drives me up the wall. 

(Dentists everywhere cringe at the thought of candy canes – right?)
