Answer 2

Yes you can. Actually, you can take 2 peppermint candy cans, break about an inch off the straight ends, then lay them touching to resemble a heart. Bake at about 300ºF for 7-10 min, depending upon your oven. Hang from a ribbon to decorate for Valanetine's Day.

I've also made cookies called "Stained Glass Cookies." My kids love to help. It's basically sugar cookies w/ cut-outs. In the cut-outs, you put small chunks of chopped, clear hard candies (like Jolly Rancher). THey melt while hte cookie bakes, Let sit to harden, then cool on a cookie sheet. It's great fun.

Answer 3

yup i know how! thats easy.
break the canes up into smaller pieces
put water in a pot to boil
jus enough to cover the canes
when it boils add the canes
boil till thick and syrupy
(just like meltin sugar)

Answer 4

put it in a pan on the stove, on medium, stir occasionally when it melts down- a solid can always turn in to a liquid because of boiling point

Answer 5

you can try it by using a double boiler water in the bottom pan candy canes in the top

Answer 6

Occasionally I put the chocolate peppermints from restaurants in my coffee. They melt and make it yummy!

Answer 7
