NOTES

HOW TO CRUSH CANDY CANESHow to easily crush candy canes? To get small crushed pieces of candy cane, I put them in a Ziplock freezer bag and crush it with the flat side of a meat tenderizer, a rolling pin, a hammer, or a rubber mallet. Put the closed bag on a cutting board and top the bag with a towel. Smash the bag until you reach your desired coarseness.INGREDIENT VARIATIONSYou can use milk, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate chips
