Receta Candy canes: like or dislike?

by Lydia (The Perfect Pantry)

Welcome to Like or Dislike, where you get to share how you really feel about ingredients from the pantry, ingredients I'm thinking about adding to my pantry, other seasonal foods, even favorite cooking gear. The things you like are sure to find their way to the recipes here on The Perfect Pantry, so do tell.

Candy canes. The ultimate stocking stuffers and tree ornaments. Do you chew them, crush them, suck on them? Do you buy the small ones in strips, or the large ones that last a week? Candy canes weren't part of my childhood -- we went more for chocolate Chanukah "gelt" -- but I love to decorate holiday gifts and fill our grandkids' stockings with them. Offer me a mug of steaming hot cocoa with a candy cane stirrer on a cold winter night, and I'm a happy camper. Do candy canes bring back childhood memories for you? Are they part of your holiday tradition?

Candy canes: like or dislike?

Last week: cinnamon. You like it, in sweets and savories. Thanks for sharing your cinnamon dreams, and happy holidays to all.
