Candy Cane Heart SuckersWhether you’re looking for a party favor, a fun rainy-day project, or a sweet treat for the class at school, these candy cane heart suckers are sure to please!  You’ll need some miniature candy canes and lollipop sticks to start out with: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and lay out your suckers on a greased cookie sheet. Pop into the oven for 2 minutes – watch the clock very closely because they will melt and be ugly very soon after that 2 minute mark. Remove and quickly pinch the candy cane ends onto the lollipop sticks. They will be warm and soft, but won’t burn your fingers. (Unless you’re a wimp.) And now for the filling.  |   Your frames should look like this.  You’re going to need some white chocolate and perhaps a few sprinkles. You can melt the chocolate in a pastry bag and pipe it into the suckers, but I’m not too handy with an icing bag. I opted for a simple dish and spoon, and then I spooned it into the suckers whilst they lay on waxed paper. At this point you could call it a day and go for the less-is-more look but around these parts, we like excessive embellishment. |
They’ll only need to cool off for 5-10 minutes before they will be ready to wrap. And if you’re like me, you’ll then wish you had made them sooner, since they make a nice little decoration for the counter.
