Although the origin of the candy cane is unknown, legend has it a choirmaster in Germany handed out sugar sticks to keep the children quiet around the year 1670. Celebrate the day by eating those candy canes on the trees, add a treat to your hot chocolate or crush them up and add to your favorite brownie or cake recipe. Candy canes should be stored in a cool, dry place with a constant temperature and consumed by their expiration date.
