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?
