Valentine Treat


Saw these on one of my fave blogs www.theidearoom.blogspot.com. If you have any leftover mini candy canes or I picked some up a couple weeks ago at Walmart for 50 cents a box. Super easy to make. We're making them for the girls class valentines!
Directions:
Place candy canes in a heart shape on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Bake at 300 degrees for 5 min. Place sucker stick in bottom and mold candy around it while still warm. Let cool completely and place in bags, tie a ribbon and Ta-Da!!!

Time went by and it was still sitting in my garage. After two failed attempts to donate it to the goodwill I finally broke down and painted it. I love how it turned out. It sits on my kitchen counter and keeps my.....BREAD fresh!
