I love candy canes! So happy, so cute. Here are three simple ideas to play with this most Christmasy candy.
1. Decorate!
Nothing beats floral arrangements, but they do require a bit of matinence. Why not put candy canes in vases and treat them like flowers? Your guests can pluck them for an after dinner treat.
2. Welcome Guests!
If you’re lucky enough to be hosting loved ones during the holidays, surprise them with a nightly miniature candy cane on their pillow for a Christmas twist on the classic hotel courtesy mint.
3. Whip it!
The perfect topping to hot cocoa is Candy Cane Whipped Cream. It’s simple to make:
Grind a few candy canes in food processor or coffee grinder. Alternatively you can put them in a baggie and let loose your holiday stress by pounding them.
Whip heavy cream into soft peaks. Add a few spoonfuls of very fine candy cane powder and whip until pink, fluffy and minty. Top your homemade cocoa with it and garnish with another candy cane. Enjoy!
