I’m not sure if you’re like me and you still have candy canes hanging around from Christmas, but if you don’t just remember this for next year because they are the perfect valentine treat and I just couldn’t resist sharing. I’ve been meaning to do this for years, but it wasn’t until this year that I actually remembered to try this and they were so easy and the Candy Cane hearts are just adorable. Plus, they go perfect with any valentine.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat oven to 300 degrees. Unwrap candy canes and place on oven safe plate or tray in the heart position. I used a silicon mat, but putting directly on tray works just fine too.
- Bake for 3 minutes. Pull them out and see if they are malleable yet. You don’t want them melted, just soft enough to mold the two candy canes together. If you can mold them (be quick because they will be hot to the touch), press gently the edges until they are formed together into a solid heart.
- Let cool completely. After they are cool you can place them in a nice plastic bag and attach a valentine to it.

Happy Valentines Day!
We gave our extra candy canes away to nieces and nephews after Christmas but now I know that they have a second life for Valentine’s Day – what a great idea!
We have a ton of candy canes leftover from Christmas still. This would be the perfect way to use them up! Thanks for sharing!
What a cute and simple idea, Dana! Thanks for sharing at Snickerdoodle!
