These Chocolate-Dipped Candy Canes Are Holiday Party Gold

December 5, 2016

I love this time of year, but I don’t always have time to bake a holiday dessert. My solution: these chocolate-dipped candy canes. They’re bright, festive, super tasty, and my kids can help make them (a win-win when I’m super busy). I melt the chocolate, set out all of the ingredients, and they get to work. I let them choose the sprinkles so they can create their own designs.

These sweets also make a simple yet still lovely holiday gift for teachers and friends; wrap them individually in clear cellophane and tie with a bow!
