This is a really great gift idea! I love it. Thanks for sharing.
FACEPALM! When I see stuff like this I think, "Why didn't we think of this sooner??????" Most excellent idea. Thanks so much for sharing. I'm pinning this one.
I think sounds great. I love candy canes and I love anything peppermint. This would be great in my coffee.
I tried it - I did in food processor on pulse to grind the candy canes. I probably should have done it a little longer. I took my bigger pieces and put them on the top of the jar.
Thanks for this - it was a great quick gift. I decided that if I couldn't find candy canes I could probably do with the round mints, but didn't have to try those.
Hi Sue,
So excited that you were able to make a nice homemade gift easily! I agree, the round mints should/would work just as nicely 😉 Hope your recipient enjoys! Happy holidays!
I absolutely love candy canes, so this is perfect for me!
I love this idea. My husband really likes candy canes so this would be a great gift for him.
Such an easy - and yummy-sounding! - gift idea. This is a good one to pin for those times that guests call and say "they're in the neighborhood". You could whip this up quick and still have a pretty take-home gift for them when they leave.
