Candy Cane Hearts

During Christmastime I found a blog that teaches how to heat and bend candy canes. I bought cheap boxes of pink and red candy canes at the after Christmas sales with big plans. We would make candy hearts for Valentine's Day.

Valentine's Day was a fabulously busy day spent out of the house, so it didn't happen on that day. I've always been one to extend the holidays, so our Sunday afternoon activity was making candy cane hearts.

These are fun and easy to make.

Process: Place candy canes on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and bake in a 250-degree oven for about 8 minutes. Let them cool for about 30 seconds, and then bend bend away. If they get hard you can throw them back in the oven for a couple minutes.
