RECIPE: Christmas Candy Cane Heart Pops
I don’t know about you Disney friends but this is my week to roll up my sleeves and get back and thankfully I’ve got some incredible recipes from D23 (Disney’s Official Fan Club) to help me a long! This Christmas Candy Cane Heart Pops recipe is perfect!
It’s is not only quick and easy, but it also gives a “new purpose” to those boxes of candy canes you have and aren’t sure what to do with! Plus, this recipe is so quick and easy to make that kids can help out a well. Let’s take a look:
Candy Cane Heart Pops
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup crushed mini candy canes, divided
- 2 pounds white chocolate chips
- Optional: peppermint extract
Special Materials
- 4-inch lollipop sticks
Directions
- Place candy canes in a re-sealable sandwich bag, and crush into quarter-inch chunks. Set aside.
- Lay wax paper on a cookie sheet then arrange on the wax paper two mini candy canes in the shape of a heart. Position lollipop stick between the two halves of the heart so that the stick runs through the entire heart right down the middle. Lay out as many hearts as you’d like. Set aside.
- Melt white chocolate chips in a double boiler. Once chocolate is melted, pour 1 cup of the candy cane chunks into the chocolate. Optional: add a few drops of peppermint extract if desired.
- With a teaspoon, slowly spoon melted chocolate between the two halves of the candy cane hearts, making sure to completely cover the lollipop stick within the heart. Even out the surface as much as possible.
- Top each lollipop with the remaining crushed candy canes.
Simply pop your cookie sheet filled with Candy Canes in the fridge for about 30 minutes (or until firm) and viola!
Quick Tip: These Candy Cane Heart Pops are great for gift giving as well. Simply remove the individual lollipops form the sheet, wrap each pop and cellophane and you have the perfect cheerful treat!
