Candy cane is a must have candy for the holidays, but it seems that it is mostly used as a decorative item instead of munching. It comes as no surprise that after Christmas we usually end up with a lot of candy canes that will eventually get thrown away. Yet, Chrismas is not the only festivity in December. New Year is just around the corner and you can use all the leftover candy canes to add some festive twist to your favorite desserts. No one says that candy canes are reserved only for Christmas. Have fun and for inspiration and new ideas, this list will surely get your candy cravings going.
