Make these Christmas candy sticks with your kids at home this holiday! Sweet, pepperminty, and lightly crunchy, they’re fun to twist, delicious to nibble, and perfect for creating festive family memories.
1 cup powdered sugar 2-3 tbsp milk Few drops of peppermint essence Red food colour
In a bowl, combine powdered sugar and milk gradually to form a soft, pliable dough.
Divide the dough into two equal portions and add red food colour to one portion.
Add peppermint essence to both portions and knead lightly to distribute flavour evenly.
Roll both doughs into thin ropes, twist them together, and shape them into classic Christmas candy sticks.
Cut into equal lengths and let them dry at room temperature for 2-3 hours before serving or storing.
