What a great way to combine Christmas and Valentines Day!!
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.
