Candy Cane Sugar



This is a fantastic and super easy idea for the holidays.  I made enough for several gifts with a double batch.  It looks really pretty in a pint sized mason jar or an old school spice bottle like these:

Another great idea is to give them a tin of coco mix or a mason jar hot chocolate kit with the peppermint sugar.  There's nothing better than peppermint flavored hot chocolate or coffee during the cold winter months.

Helpful hint: Run to Walmart and Target right after the holidays (like right this minute) and pick up a ton candy canes on super sale (I saw packages at Walmart for 10 cents).  Target also has amazing after Christmas sales, especially on wrapping paper, so stock up, especially if you're a poor college student!



Ingredients:
1 cup white sugar
2-3 candy canes

Pour the sugar in a food processor or blender.
Add the candy canes and blend until you are happy with the consistency.
Doesn't get any easier!
