Candy Cane Creations
Buy candy canes in bulk and make a variety of holiday treats that are easy on your budget.
Shop at a warehouse store like Sam's Club or Costco, or shop online for bulk deals.
Peppermint Bark
Buy meltable Almond Bark from your grocery store. Melt it in a microwavable safe dish, then pour it into a 9x13 pan. As it begins to cool, sprinkle crushed candy canes over the top. After it has hardened, use a knife to break into uneven pieces. These make great gifts packaged pretty.
Gift embellishments
Top your hand-delivered Christmas cards and gifts with wrapped candy canes.
Sweet Stirrers
Use your candy cane as a stirrer in hot cocoa. You can also place a hot cocoa packet in a pretty mug, then place a candy cane in it as an economical gift for coworkers.
Ornaments
Use any leftover candy cards to decorate your Christmas tree as ornaments! Let your child (or yourself) eat one each day until Christmas.
