I found this yummy oh so simple recipe last night and just had to post it for you guys. There perfect christmas gifts or just a little something sweet for over the Christmas period after all who doesnt love candy canes and hearts this time of year right?!!! I will definitly be making these with my little ones this coming weekend just in time for santa.
- 12 candy canes
- 200g white chocolate, chopped
- edible sprinkles
You will need
- 6 oven proof lolly sticks (eBay)
- cellophane bags and ribbon (if gifts) available on eBay and craft stores
Method
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line 2 baking sheets with baking parchment. Arrange the candy canes in pairs on the trays, to make heart shapes. Put a lolly stick between each one, where they meet at the bottom. Put the trays in the oven and cook for 5 mins.
- The candy canes should now be soft enough for you to carefully pinch together where they join at the top and the bottom, around the stick. Be careful as the canes will be extremely hot, but work quickly or they will set and you won’t be able to pinch them together.
- Melt the chocolate in a pan over a bowl of barely simmering water, or in the microwave. Spoon the melted chocolate into the middle of the heart lollies, pushing it out to fill the spaces. Scatter over your choice of sprinkles, then leave to cool completely. When set, peel off the baking parchment, wrap in cellophane bags and tie with a ribbon to give as a gift.
