Christmas Cheer for the Whole Family

Title: Christmas Cheer Candy Canes
Yield: [x] amount of candy canes

Ingredients

1 pack of Halls Honey Lemon Cough Drops
1 pack of Halls Cherry Cough drops
1 pack of Halls Spearmint Cough Drops

Preparation

Deposit each pack of halls (unwrapped, free of ALL metal) into a small bowl.

Cooking

Put all 3 bowls (together) in microwave on High for an arbitrary amount of time (best to watch). Stop microwave when Halls are soft.

Candy Cane Making

Let cool until each is “stringy” (use fingers… cautiously… to test temperature).
Roll each pack out (like you’re making a “snake” in kindergarden).
Twist all 3 together (think barbershop pole).
Cut new twisty thing into even portions.
Twist top to look like cane.

Serving

Best served with cold milk to unsuspecting co-workers. Even better, of course, is to hang them on an office Christmas tree, and when someone tries the first one say “It must have been a bad one, you never know when you buy stuff from the Dollar Store. Sorry!”

Don’t forget to leave the area before laughing / peeing yourself / making more and passing them out to all your friends.

    A lot of the blog’s I read on a daily basis are technology or business related blogs. It’s always amusing when one of these blogs ventures into the food arena. To be perfectly honest this isn’t really food, but it’s…

    Are you feeling OK today, Jeremy?

    That would be great to pull on some co-workers. What about Nyquil Egg Nog?? ;-)

    Am I the only one whose mouth watered when I read this? Mmmm… Cough drops.

    Of course, I have a nasty cold, so I may not be thinking straight.
