For this weeks' lesson in the kitchen, we choose to find recipes using candy canes.  Not just because we are up to our neck in them, but because even after Christmas we will STILL be up to our neck in them!  So we decided to put them to good use this week and find creative, tasty ways to do that.

The kids really liked this project, hands on is the way they like it, and we really had a lot of fun picking out this weeks' candy cane lessons.  We choose three recipes, I was cheering for the fudge, but the children were adamant on the reindeer.  Before the New Years, we will try all three:


The best thing about all three of these recipes is that you can also give them away for Christmas gifts.  They will not bust your budget, and gives you the hands on fun and learning that you are looking for.

Now we cannot let this moment pass without filling our brains along with our stomachs.  So for a little history and a few facts on the candy cane, please visit the links below.
