Treats to Make with the Kids: Candy Cane Truffles

December 1 by Kristin

Candy Cane Christmas truffles - kids will have so much fun making these, especially smashing the candy canes!

You’ve heard those desserts with the word ‘crack’ in the title?  Crack Pie or Christmas Crack…basically anything that makes your tastebuds go crazy.

It’s the type of dessert that makes you lose all self-control and the next thing you know, you’ve eaten half the recipe. 

These truffles should probably have the word crack in the title.  The 4 ingredient recipe is delightfully simple and the presentation is magazine-worthy.

Try these Candy Cane Truffles for your next holiday get-together.  Gift them to your neighbors.  Make them without reason until the candy cane sandwich cookies are no longer in stock.  You’ll thank me later!
