These Candy Cane Suckers make the perfect Christmas treat! With only 1 ingredient, Jolly Ranchers, they are really easy to make!
I can’t believe that we are just a few short weeks away from Christmas! With the holiday season in full swing I have been super busy shopping for gifts, decorating the house, and, of course, baking!
Since the Turkey Suckers I shared for Thanksgiving and the Frankenstein Suckers I shared for Halloween where such a huge hit, I know you guys will love these adorable Candy Cane Suckers! These little cuties will make the perfect treat for your holiday party!
Check out the simple step-by-step directions below to make these cuties yourself.
To make these candy cane suckers you will need Pineapple (white) and Strawberry (red) Jolly Ranchers
and lollipop sticks.
Unwrap the Jolly Ranchers and cut each in half. I used a Clever Cutter but kitchen scissors work just as well.
Next, on a parchment lined cookie sheet, place Jolly Ranchers in alternating colors in a candy cane shape. Make sure thatthe Jolly Ranchers are touching each other.
Leave enough space between each candy cane so that when they come out of the oven you can put a sucker stick in them.
Once you have all your Jolly Ranchers in place pop them into the oven until the Jolly Ranchers melt together (should take around 4-5 minutes).
After removing from the oven immediately roll the end of a lollipop stick in the bottom of each sucker.
Then, let them set at room temperature until they harden (about 10 minutes). Now, they are ready to serve!
I hope you enjoyed this easy-to-make and super cute Candy Cane Sucker recipe.
