Butter

*A note on small candy canes*
It’s harder than you think to find mini candy canes with an OPEN hook. I like the open hook because they look so cute and they can hang on the edge of your mug. So darling! I went to eight stores trying to find them. I finally found these. They worked perfectly! If you want to avoid the drama, just order online.

Make your candy cane stir sticks

1. Crush up a few candy canes in a plastic bag.
   
2. Stick a candy cane into a marshmallow for as many as you want to make.
3. Melt 1 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 tsp butter in the microwave.
   *hint – don’t melt them all the way, just until they’re getting melty. Stir while they finish melting
4. Dip the marshmallow in the chocolate.
5. Sprinkle on some of the crushed candy cane pieces.
   
   I like to hang them on something to cool – skewers balanced between things or a clean hanger work well.
6. Enjoy!
   

If you’re making these for gifts, put them in a plastic bag, cut out the printable, then fold the paper in half and attach to the plastic bag.

I love making these for gifts because you can gift them alone or add things to go with them. Here are some ideas of things you can pair them with:

• Your favorite hot chocolate mix
  
  
• A cute mug
  
  
• Slippers
• Coasters
• Mug cozy
