I crushed the candy canes and put them in melted  almond bark.  Does that count? :)

I never liked candy canes when I was younger, wasn't a big peppermint fan. Now I love them when I can get them. Of course, they don't seem to be the candy or tree decoration of choice anymore, but they can still be found! My mother-in-law used to tell about how she would get candy canes at Christmas and how special and delicious they were. But of course she didn't get candy year round like younger generations do. :snowman:

It's also Box Day.  A day when the royalty would give their staff off and give them boxes of gifts and food. :present:

I like to enjoy a small candy cane every once in a while.  Can't eat much of it as I try to keep my sweets down and the mint gets a little over whelming after awhile.  Well here is to candy cane day I didn't buy any this year but I do have some dove chocolate with candy cane topping I guess that will have to do lol.

This is a welcome holiday for me. 🍬 Peppermint is so versatile.  Of course, candy canes symbolize the holiday season.  I think I have a candy cane ball point pen somewhere!  LOL  I do love to use crushed peppermint in baking and hot chocolate and crushed very fine to sprinkle in home made whipped cream in desserts!  I've also been treating myself to those Dove Chocolates -- 'Peppermint Bark' that are individually-wrapped in green foil with a peppermint striped bow design that others have mentioned in this thread.  I guess you could say I've been celebrating this 'holiday' for a number of days now. :in-love:

I haven't had one candy cane this season! It makes it feel incomplete! My granny sent me a few mini ones mixed in with my gifts that I'll have to try.  :snowman:

We're having a hot cocoa bar at work this New Years Eve.  I was hoping we would have left over candy canes to use as stirrers but they're already sold out.  We do however have those candy cane sticks... ya know the ones that when they snap in half they are kind of powdery.  We also have em in cinnamon.  So I grabbed a few of those to use as stirrers instead.

Wow, they have a national day for everything you can think of. I am not big on candy canes. If I do have one though, it will be the peppermint one. I don't like the other flavors.
