Vickys Home 'Grown' Christmas Candy Canes
I got this idea from a kids TV programme but have embellished the story to make it more special for my own children. What will your story of the magic candy cane seeds be?
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Fill a container with sugar as this is the 'soil' that candy canes need to grow in.....
- 2
(I use an old flower pot, sprayed gold and put the tupperware container inside)
- 3
Now unveil the seeds, (tic-tacs) left by a mysterious elf in the night, and plant them but don't push them too far in, they need to touch moonlight to grow.....
- 4
Sprinkle the magic growth powder over (icing sugar) to speed up the process.....
- 5
Put the container on a windowsill at bedtime to let the moon work it's magic.....
- 6
When the little ones are asleep, remove the tic-tacs and replace them with candy canes
- 7
In the morning the kids will find the candy canes have 'grown' and they can hang them on the tree for later or eat them 'fresh' lol!
- 8
This is a great 'Countdown to Christmas' activity that we do on the night of the 23rd, then we wake up to the candy on Christmas Eve morning. Of course you can repeat it through advent or as often as you wish as the elves have an abundant supply of candy cane seeds.....

For Christmas! Candy Cane Cookies For Christmas! Candy Cane Cookies
I got the candy cane shape idea from an American recipe website, so I made it with my favorite cookie batter called "melting moment" which is equivalent to snowball cookies in Japan I think. This cookie is so delicious! If you can't shape it well, roll it up into balls and simply bake!The dough is not easy to roll out, so do not make it too small, or it will break after baking. I recommend making the stick thick. If the cookies brown too much, the coloring won't turn out as cute, so be careful not to over bake! Please try this with your favorite cookie batter. For about 28 sticks. Recipe by aquariusmoon cookpad.japan -

Candy cane danish Candy cane danish
I seen this on Pillsbury. Com and had to try it . I added my on spin on this .This would be good with apple pie filling too if you don’t like cherries . I should have made two as it wasn’t enough for my family ..... I just didn’t have time, I suggest making two if you are feeding more than 2-3 people, it is good and everyone in my house wanted 2nds helpings . This was easy but some what mess when pinching the ends together I got some filling all over my hands... 🌈NinjaMommaKitchen🌈 -

By using the glue gun, you can attach the candy instantly with a little glue. If the surface of the hat is smooth, it will be easy to remove the candy when you want to eat it. Note: It gets hot, so mind you don't burn yourself. You can buy it in the 300 yen section of a 100 yen shop. Recipe by Ranpuai cookpad.japan -

Cute Candy Cookies Cute Candy Cookies
I saw a cookie with a candy window on a TV show awhile ago. I thought if it could be made with a black cocoa cookie, it'd make for a nice contrast and be really cute, so I gave it a shot. When I put the candy in before baking the cookie dough would become smashed or stick to the candy and it was quite difficult. So I changed the procedure to add the candy during the middle of baking.Try to fill in the gaps with smashed candy bits as much as possible. The baking may differ depending on your household oven, so adjust the temperature and baking time as necessary. If the temperature is too hot, the candy may burn. It might be a good idea to have candy bits left over when baking so you can fill in any gaps. For the candy, I use orange and pineapple flavored Sakuma drops. Recipe by yotiko cookpad.japan -
