Even though I love peppermint year-round, there’s just something that tastes a little differently when it’s Christmas time and it’s in the shape of a candy cane. It seems like no matter how many candy canes I always buy at the beginning of the Christmas season, my family always eats all of them too. So I thought that a fun thing to do might be to come up with some kind of cookie or treat that uses candy canes.
So I went to my cookbook, the internet, with our Satellite Internet Provider and started searching for some tasty treat to make with crushed up candy canes. There were all kinds of really great things that I found and it seemed like it would be pretty easy to incorporate candy cane crumbs into a lot of recipes.
But, out of all the recipes, the one I found for candy cane cookies won out because it seemed like it was super easy and would taste really fantastic. Also, I think they would be easy to make some more of and give them away to friends as gifts.
