Very "Sweet" Christmas Recipes
Candy Cane Sled
You will need:
~ two candy canes
~ one regular size Hershey bar or other candy bar
~ wrapping paper
~ curling ribbon
Wrap the candy bar with Christmas wrapping paper.
Tape the two candy canes to either side on the bottom,
making the runners for the sleigh. From the underneath
of the candy bar (front of the sleigh) bring the ribbon up and
back down making the "rope to pull" the sleigh.
This sled would be great to put on top of that "Special" Christmas gift!
