Product Information

According to the National Confectionery Association, a U.S.-based group that advocates for the confectionery industry, candy canes are the No. 1 selling non-chocolate candy in the month of December — 90 per cent are sold between U.S. Thanksgiving and Christmas. Though making candy canes at home IS super fun, it’s also a little more complex than your average Christmas treat. Since you’ll be working with very hot sugar, you’ll need some special equipment and skills to ensure safety. Here are a few things to do before getting started: Dye the dough (Method 1). The easiest way is to separate the dough into two batches, then dye one half red and one half white. To do this, pour out half your sugar mixture onto one baking sheet and half onto the second baking sheet. Let each batch spread out, then add two to three drops of red food coloring to one batch and a few drops of white food coloring to the other. Use the oiled bench scraper to fold the dye into the dough until it reaches the desired redness. Sugar, glucose-fructose syrup, invert sugar syrup, wheat flour, corn starch, palm oil, humectant: glycerol; acids: mali, pork gelatine, emulsifier: E471; flavourings You could print them onto shrink sheets, color them with markers, and then bake them. They’ll shrink to about half their original size.

If you like the idea of a candy cane wreath but you don’t want to use actual candy canes – they can attract insects, after all – you could use my templates. Cream of tartar or vinegar to keep the sugar crystals as small as possible, creating a smoother dough (though you can skip these ingredients if you want) You can do this by setting up a table with my candy cane templates, markers, glue, ribbon, construction paper, sequins, glitter – anything for kids to design their own candy cane. For example, you could print out multiples, put them in a jar and have your students guess how many there are. The person with the closest answer, without going over, wins a prize! When you’re halfway up the candy cane, you will stuff tissues inside. Continue to staple and stuff until you have closed up the candy cane. 2. Doorknob HangersYou can use my candy cane templates to create this adorable craft that, when completed, can be used as decoration in your home (or you can take it to your office!). The white candy reminds us of purity and holiness. It recalls the virgin birth of Christ, the sinless life of Christ and the holy life that Jesus wants his people to live. — Matthew 1:23 and 1 Peter 1:15
