Candy Cane Hearts



Well, paint my door red & call me the peppermint queen.  By golly, I've found a way to keep peppermint around just a little bit longer!  Just to clarify, I've saw this a couple of years ago, but I've never tried it until the other day.

I feel like this is more of a supply list, than a recipe -
But before I go any further...RUN! to your store & snatch up those mini candy canes before they get gone!  At 70% off they wont be around much longer.  Hurry.  My box of 30 cost me .50 cents.  Buy some extras too.  Because those little suckers break easily!

Okay - back to supplies.
*Candy cane minis.  unwrap & place in heart shape on wax paper
*Lollipop sticks (Wilton's)
*Wilton's pink Chocolate Melts. Melt per directions on the package.   umm, hello Mr. Wilton, I'm helping your retirement fund grow here on my blog - how about you & I have a cuppa coffee one day & chat  ;)
*note - you will not have to use a lot of melts, I just melted as I went along today.*
*(use an ice tea spoon to spread the chocolate in your hearts)
*Sprinkles
*allow time to dry & firm

There you have it.  I dare ya not to smile with all the visions of pink that will be floating around in your kitchen.        I always say bring on the pink right after Christmas, because the power of pink fades those ole' Winter blues away!

Super cute! My husband loves peppermints, and I just picked up three boxes of the minis at Target the other day (90% off at 25¢ a box). Wonder if he'd like these lollies? ;-)
