behind the scenes
This Way to Candy Cane Lane
While candy canes may originally hail from across the pond, there is no doubt they’ve been more apparent here over the last few years. Indeed, candy canes even seem to be an essential part of our tree décor this year!
So, welcome them into your kitchen this Christmas and savour a subtle nod to the peppermint flavour with these chocolate candy cane cookies. What could look more festive than that classic red and white pinstripe?!

Now, don’t get us wrong, these cookies are fantastic without their garnish, but once they take a dip in that silky dark chocolate and get sprinkled with festive cheer, they become the ultimate Christmas indulgence!
And the peppermint really does work perfectly here, cutting through the rich, fudgy texture of the chocolate, to leave you with a classic, winning flavour combination.

So, turn on those Christmas tunes (we don’t think it’s too early) and get into the kitchen. We guarantee you won’t regret it!
