1/2 cup finely crushed candy cane mixed with 1/2 cup sugar

Directions
Mix all ingredients. Split dough into equal
portions. Color one portion of the dough red.

off one
piece (approx. one teaspoon of each color) and roll by hand into four to
five inch tubes.
Twist the two pieces together and bend forming a candy cane. Sprinkle the
top with
the candy cane/sugar mixture. Be careful when removing from the cookie

1 ts Peppermint flavoring
1/2 c Water
3/4 c Lt. corn syrup
3/4 ts Red vegetable coloring
1/4 ts Cream of tartar

each lot is 280F. Add 1/2 tsp.
peppermint to each lot and add the coloring to one, the other not: place
on an enamel or marble
table to cool. (First oiling the table, as a general rule). Like taffy you

form them
into your candy cane. Now on an oiled surface you allow them to harden.
Peppermint Pudding
Place peppermint candy or candy canes inside a
ziploc baggy. Use a block to crush
the peppermint candy. Let the children spoon vanilla pudding into a
cup and add a
dollop of whipped topping on the pudding. Then sprinkle the candy over
the children's vanilla pudding snack.
