Candy Cane Heart Suckers

I had seen this idea on http://www.theidearoom.blogspot.com/ and thought how fun would that be to make these!
But I didn't have any mini candy canes from Christmas! So thanks to Desiree who had some and made a few of her own, I too made some fun heart suckers! They are very simple and look great! So if you don't have any candy canes, make sure to put this on your list for next year!
Save those candy canes for Valentines Day and when you are done putting your white chocolate in the middle of your hearts...

dip some pretzels in the leftovers for another fun treat!

Simply take two (per sucker) small candy canes and place them on a greased cookie sheet in a heart shape. Slide a sucker stick in between them.


Place them in a heated 350 degree oven and watch them closely. After 3-5 minutes, they will be melty and bubbly. Quickly remove them from the oven and pinch the ends of the candy canes together at the top and bottom of each sucker. Be very careful as the candy will be HOT!
She used a knife to help mold the suckers, which I did too!


Then set the tray aside to cool. After they have cooled completely melt some white chocolate or almond bark in the microwave. Pour a small amount into the center of the suckers and smooth with your clean finger. I added a few colorful sprinkles as well. Let them cool again before packaging or better yet...Eating!
