About Those Candy Canes!

Candy canes were first made about 350 years ago, they were straight and all white. The red and white candy canes were made about 110 years ago.

Over 2 billion candy canes are sold each year, most of which are sold during the month before Christmas.

Candy canes with a peppermint flavor are great to settle a nauseated stomach, or sooth a sore throat.

Buy a bunch after Christmas when they are marked down and use them the rest of the winter through cold season.

Use crushed candy canes in and/or on top of sweet treats such as brownies, fudge, ice cream, Rice Krispy treats, tea, and of course my favorite…

hot chocolate…with mini-marshmallows!!! mmmm………

Candy canes are also good for a variety of crafts:

They make for a pretty place setting at the table.

Titus 2:3 says that we are to be "...teachers of good things...". We believe that part of these good things are practical skills that we all need in every day life to care for our family and neighbors. One of our primary responsibilities as parents is equip our children with the skills and tools to one day be productive, well rounded adults. Children need to be exposed to many different areas of work. Not only should they know how to work, but they should want to work. May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us- yes, establish the work of our hands. Psalm 90:17
