The candy cane became initially a at cutting-edge, no longer worry-free, and all-white candy stick invented by utilising French monks in the early 1400s. The cane shape is traditionally credited to a choirmaster at Cologne Cathedral in Germany, who, legend has it, in 1670 bent at cutting-edge sugar sticks into canes to represent a shepherd's team, and gave them to little ones at church amenities. no rely if the choirmaster had the stable Shepherd in innovations is unknown. yet another concept is that, as human beings adorned their yule timber with nutrition, the bent candy cane became invented as a clever answer. candy with purple stripes first recognized in the early 1900s. Postcards earlier 1900s teach in effortless terms white colored candy canes, yet postcards after 1900s demonstrate purple striped candy canes. Peppermint flavored candy canes recognized around the comparable time.
