Glue gun and glue sticks
40 individually wrapped candy canes, 6 inches long
1 empty food can, from tomatoes or fruit (28 to 29 ounces)

Recipe Tips

Tied with a ribbon, this versatile "planter" can also be filled with cookies, candy or breadsticks.
Add a border of wrapped hard peppermint candies, or use a combination of peppermint sticks and peppermint candies.
Look in the holiday candy section of the grocery store for varieties of candy canes with both red and green stripes. They’ll add extra holiday spirit to your planter.
