Cute idea for Christmas

Ingredients

1  .       24 mini candy canes

2  .       12 6″ lollipop sticks

3  .       1 cup white candy coating

4  .       Sprinkles

Instructions

  1.       Heat oven to 300 degrees. On a parchment lined baking sheet, arrange the candy canes as hearts with the lollipop stick centered in between the two candy canes. Bake for 3 minutes. You want them to be malleable, but not melted.

  2.       Remove from oven & shape candy canes into hearts by pinching the the bottom of the heart into the stick and pinching the top ends together. I also pulled the edges out to make my hearts more round and full. They will be hot & you need to work fairly quickly. If the candy canes harden before you have them shaped, just stick them back in the oven for a couple of minutes. I re-heated mine a few times before I got the hang of shaping them the way I wanted them.

  3.       Melt candy coating in the microwave at 30 second intervals on medium power, stirring between heatings, until smooth. 

  4.       Spoon the melted candy coating into the center of each heart, then top with sprinkles. Cool the pops before serving or wrapping.
