I love this time of year, but I don’t always have time to bake a festive dessert. My solution: these chocolate-dipped candy canes. They’re bright, festive, super tasty, and my kids can help make them (a win-win when I’m super busy). I melt the chocolate, set out all of the ingredients, and they get to work. I let them choose the sprinkles so they can create their own designs.
These sweets also make a simple yet still lovely Christmas gift for teachers and friends; wrap them individually in clear cellophane and tie with a bow!
Step 4: Gently lift the candy cane out of the chocolate and let any excess drip off. Place the dipped candy canes on the parchment-lined baking sheet as you go. 
Step 5: While they're still wet, sprinkle them lightly with sprinkles. 
Step 6: Let them set at room temperature. (If you need to speed it up you can place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.)
