Ingredients:
· Mini Candy Canes
· Starlight Peppermint Candy
· White Chocolate Wafers – I used this kind
· Christmas Sprinkles
· Silicon baking mat or parchment paper and wax
paper
Instructions:
· Preheat
oven to 300 degrees
· Lay
candy canes in a heart shape on the mat. Place one starlight peppermint candy
at the tip end of the “heart”. Cut a mini candy cane to create a “tree stump”
and place at the opposite end of the heart
- Place in oven for about 3-5 minutes (please note,
all ovens cook differently so you need to watch the candy and as soon as
it get a little soft, remove from oven…. you can always put it back in for
longer if needed)
- ADULT STEP – As soon as it comes out of the oven
(NOTE – BE VERY CAREFULLY because it will be very hot and you could burn
yourself!!), shape the tree by straightening the “humps” of the heart into
a straight line, press the “points” of the heart together with the
peppermint candy and attach and pinch the tree stump to the tree.
- Let cool completely and if you are using parchment
paper, transfer to wax paper. If you are using the silicon mat, your can
complete the next step on the mat, as well.
- Melt the white chocolate wafers according to the
directions on the package. Using a teaspoon, carefully spoon the white
chocolate into the center of the tree. Immediately scatter with the
sprinkles of your choice.
- Let cool completely and use a spatula to remove from
the mat or paper if they are sticking!
- Enjoy!
