I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Candy Cane Sleigh Place Markers

These easy to make candy cane sleighs can be used as table place markers, gift toppers or added to any Christmas display. These were made for last year's Christmas before Covid-19 came to challenge the world. Here's hoping we can be together for family celebrations this year, but if we need to stay apart this year then we will, so that we WILL be all together in the future!

What you'll need for each sleigh:
glue gun
2 candy canes for the runners
a chocolate bar to fit as the base of the sleigh
a chocolate Santa (of course😀)
and a pile of candies for his pack 

Make sure the chocolate bar for the base of the sleigh fits the length of the candy canes. I used minis here. Tuck the wrapping ends of the bar underneath and glue. Then glue the bottom of the bar to the candy canes. There you have your sleigh bed and runners. Glue Santa's feet to the front of the bar (so he can stand up to drive the sleigh!) And stack chocolates and candies (or a little toy) behind him as his stash of goodies!


If you are going to use this as a place marker just leave enough room behind Santa to tuck a name card in.


These mini Santa's sleighs sat neatly at each place.
