I’ve been working so much that I’m way behind in my Christmas prep so I’ve been trying to get caught up especially with the neighbor gifts and candy melts are my new best friend. The possibilities are endless! At Michaels they had a couple of fun versions for the holidays – the version in the candy cane is a white candy melt with red sprinkles and the version in the gingerbread man is also a white candy melt with red, blue and green sprinkles. I got some cookie cutters at the dollar store and then just melted the candy melts according to package directions, spooned the melted candy into the cookie cutters sitting on wax paper on top of a cookie sheet and then put them in the fridge until set. The little hearts are two tiny candy canes put end to end and then filled carefully with the melted candy, I also put these on wax paper on cookie sheets and also put them in the fridge until set. So cute! Wish I had bought more candy canes. Merry Christmas Eve everyone!
