Ingredients
- Candy canes (as many as you want to make hearts)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Unwrap the candy canes and arrange two together in a heart shape on an oven-safe tray or a silicone mat.
-
Bake for about 3 minutes. Check to see if they are pliable — they should be soft enough to bend but not melted. Work quickly (they will be hot) and press the ends together gently to seal the heart shape.
-
Allow the candy cane hearts to cool completely. Once cool, package them in small bags and attach a valentine if you like.
