Countdown to Christmas Day 29....Choc Dipped Candy Canes

I was recently involved in a Christmas themed fundraiser. My sisters & I ran a Christmas stall and one thing that we were really keen to have, were some cheap yummy things for the kids to buy. This is one of the things that I made and my daughter is now going to make them for her school friends. It is just a yummy twist on a candy cane!

This is what you will need

1. Place the chocolate in a microwave safe container and melt in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir & then return to the microwave for an extra 30 seconds or until completely melted.

 2. Tear the plastic wrapper back to where you would like the chocolate to go to. Not only does it leave a straighter line, but it also means that you are not directly holding the candy cane. 

3.Dip the candy cane into the chocolate. Depending on how deep the container is, you may need to use a spoon to scoop the chocolate onto the candy cane (much easier when you are not trying to take a photo at the same time!) Allow the excess to drip off.

 4. Now dip the candy cane in the sprinkles. Once again, depending on the depth of the container you may need to scoop the sprinkles on. Make sure you do it quickly, so that the chocolate is covered in sprinkles before it sets.

  

5. Place on a tray. When you have made them all, or the tray is full, place the tray in the fridge until they are all completely set.

6. Remove the plastic wrapping from the top of the candy cane, place them in self seal cellophane bags and they are ready to go.

Enjoy on their own or stir them into your hot chocolate!

It’s a quick, easy and a kid friendly activity for all the family.
