Ingredients
- 2 pieces per sleigh Full-sized candy canes
- 5 pieces per sleigh Mini chocolate bars (e.g., Hershey's Minis, KitKats, or Milky Way Minis)
- 1 piece per sleigh Full-sized chocolate bar (e.g., Hershey’s bar)
- 12 inches per sleigh Ribbon (festive holiday colors)
- 1 tool Hot glue gun (or double-sided tape)
- 1 piece per sleigh Small decorative bow
Directions
Step 1
Start by laying a flat surface with parchment paper or another protective layer to keep the candies clean and protect your workspace from glue.
Step 2
Place two full-sized candy canes parallel to each other, with the curved ends facing upwards like the runners of a sleigh. These will form the base of your candy sleigh.
Step 3
Using a hot glue gun or double-sided tape, attach the full-sized chocolate bar horizontally across the two candy canes where the 'runners' meet. This forms the base of your sleigh.
Step 4
Stack mini chocolate bars on top of the base in a staggered pyramid shape. For example, attach three mini bars as the bottom layer, two as the middle layer, and one on top. Secure each layer with a small dab of glue or tape.
Step 5
Cut a 12-inch piece of ribbon and carefully wrap it around the sleigh (over the stacked chocolates). Tie the ribbon securely in a bow on top, ensuring the mini chocolates remain in place.
Step 6
Attach a small decorative bow or embellishment to the top of the ribbon using a dab of hot glue for a finishing touch.
Step 7
Allow the glue to set for about 5 minutes if using hot glue.
Step 8
Repeat these steps to create as many candy sleighs as you'd like.
Step 9
Your candy sleighs are ready! Use them as cute holiday gifts, stocking stuffers, or a festive centerpiece for your table.
